 Even though the fall has passed, the harsh summer heat.

Here at Harumi Island Triton Square's "Flower Terrace", the red, orange, and yellow summer flowers that are still in full bloom under the strong sunlight are still eye-catching.

In such a season, this time we introduce the cold-colored flowers found on the terrace that feel the coolness.

This year marks the tenth year since its completion in 2001, but the three terrace spaces with the theme of flowers, greenery, and water are a place to stroll, rest, and relax for local residents and workers.

Rooftop greening, shade of trees, and the babbling of water relieves the heat and gives moisture and peace.

Please enjoy "visual coolness" for a moment.

  The Tsukuda Island area, which has been exempted from the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Great Tokyo Air Raid, still retains the remnants of the site layout dating back to the Edo period.

The small houses and narrow alleys create a unique cityscape.

The greenery of flower pots, bonsai, and planters in the vacant space on the entrance and edge roads will heal your feelings, but at this time, windows and eaves are covered with blinds, reed cages and wind chimes. Water is sprayed, and the traditional coolness is produced.

This summer, when power saving is shouted, there is a feeling that not only the nostalgia of Showa's atmosphere, but also the practicality is further demonstrated.
