　If you get to the venue early, we recommend taking a walk to Harumi Wharf.

On the way, there is such an explanation, and you can enjoy a historical walk.

　

On the first floor of the Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal, you can see the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and the male figure of athletes toward 2020.

　

　The bulldozer told the observation deck of the Harumi Passenger Terminal that the development of the Olympic and Paralympic athlete's village began.

　

The Rainbow Bridge and the night view around you will make you feel very romantic. observation deck's summer opening hours are until 20:00. It is convenient because the Toei bus runs continuously toward Ginza. Enjoy the evening Bon Odori in Harumi and the night view from observation deck at the passenger ship terminal. Silver

 

 

On Sunday, July 24th, we washed Nihonbashi Bridge!

If you look at this, I feel that it's finally a summer performance.

"Nihonbashi Washing" is hosted by [Naibashi Nihonbashi Preservation Society] and is held on the fourth Sunday of July every year. Neighborhood associations, fire departments, neighboring companies, etc. participate freely and clean Nihonbashi with a festive atmosphere. Participation is required by pre-registration. If you are interested, please contact us at Nihonbashi Preservation Society!

The day is from morning to summer. It's already full of people at nine a.m. Until noon, we will have you stop the nearby road and clean it together.

The fire department is also ready. It's cool! The children were flocking.

Well, first of all, from the ceremony.

"Japan Road Sign" in the middle of Nihonbashi Road, which you can't usually see (there is a reproduction in the square of Nihonbashi Kitazume!) And water from all over the world.

It's cool.　Yes! His figure, too...。↑

After the ceremony is completed successfully, a water truck will appear. This year, we are using reclaimed water. So the hydropower is weaker than usual.

Well, I will do my best with human power!

It looks like playing in the water. If the Nihonbashi River becomes a beautiful waterside, will these sights be seen on a daily basis?

And what's Starbucks across the bridge!

I've served iced coffee.

A lot of milk and sugar are also available so that even those who are not good at coffee or children can drink it. He served with a smile in the scorching sun. Thank you very much.

One hour has passed since the start. Nihonbashi is already Awaa. By this time, those who participated in plain clothes gently evacuated to the sidewalk. Rubber sandals and shorts are required if you want to wash them thoroughly!

Speaking of clothes, people from nearby companies participating in Nihonbashi Bridge Washing...My name is happi coat.

You can see happi coat, a variety of long-established companies that you can't usually see, as well as happi coat Mania. All of them are devised to express the corporate culture, and it's fun just to look at them.

By the way, companies say that even if they participate today, they will not go to work on holidays (laughs).

As various people participate and clean and clean, even strangers can somehow get acquainted with each other. Please come and see such a bridge wash and everyone! Nihonbashi early in the morning is also interesting!

Finally, Chuo-ku is also in summer.

Everyone, please come and visit us!

　　　　　Is it beautiful?

　The "Wakuwaku Tour" hosted by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association is available.

As an "industrial course", there are courses such as visiting a long-established Nihonbashi store in Nihonbashi, enjoying shopping around famous shops in Tsukiji Outer Market, visiting a gallery in Ginza, lecturer and walking around Nihonbashi town. As a free study, this year there is also a course called "Tour the company with the guidance of a famous reporter of the Nikkan Sports Newspaper".　With the cooperation of the local newspaper company, Nikkan Sports Newspaper, you can study until the newspaper is completed.

　

　On July 23, on my way to work, I saw a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, so I called out. That day was exactly the day of the "visiting the company with the guidance of a famous specialty reporter of the Nikkan Sports Newspaper".　While watching the parents and children who participate in the event with a smile

　

I saw off the back of Nikkan Sports Newspaper entering the company.

　

That's right. The reason why Ginzo didn't put it in was because he didn't apply in advance.

If you are interested in the "Exciting Tour", you need to apply in advance.

Click here for more information. Please participate in a fun town walk and enjoy it.

In the Edo period, on the night of January and July 26 in old calendar.
The event that waits for the moon to come out is "26 nights waiting"
He said.

As a famous place to wait for the moon in Edo
The busiest was along the coast from Takanawa to Shinagawa.
There are stalls near the coast, and there are houseboats for viewing moons.
It seems to have been crowded with many people.

In addition, Kudanzaka, Tsukiji Kaite,
Yushima Tenmangu Shrine, Fukagawa Suzaki, etc. were famous for viewing the moon.

　　　　　　　　　　<Ryogoku Bridge>

From now on, the season of fireworks festival.
There seems to be more opportunities to look up at the night sky.
I want to cool off well.
