 At FANCL Ginza Square (Ginza 5), the salon space with a terrace on the 10th floor "Royal Room" is open to the public as a "summer cool garden" for four days from August 4 to August 7.

(11:30~18:30)

Currently, it is one of the "seasonal garden events" held seven times a year, and is planned around the event "Yukata de Ginbura" throughout the city of Ginza.

In addition to morning glory, mandebira, periwinkle, lilies, giboushi, etc. are exhibited, and reed cages and wind chimes are distributed, creating a coolness with the sense of the season.

In the room, there is also a cold drink that moisturizes the throat, so you can enjoy the coolness of a moment.

DSC_0582SQRSG (2). jpg The event "Yukata de Ginbra 2016", which allows Ginza visitors in midsummer in yukata and kimono to cool with a variety of Japanese hospitality, will be held on July 31 at Ginza Street 1-chome to 8-chome It was held using a pedestrian paradise.

This time, the time was changed from 15:00 to 17:00.

Since Japan's first pedestrian paradise was held on Ginza Street in August 1870, it has been held 10 years ago as part of the "Holiday Promenade" event, with the aim of having a fun summer dayentertainment for visitors to Ginza.

Among them, the most popular is the Uchimizu event "Ginza Cool Wind Plan". When the visitors and the people of the city spray water all at once with a loud shout, the asphalt on the street is cooled and cold wind blows through the pedestrian paradise.

The ice statue display "Ice Festival" set up on Ginza Street also brings a cool feeling.

This year, the motif is the "ice zoo" for the 3rd chome venue and the "ice summer festival" for the 6th chome venue.

On this day, it was crowded with a large number of visitors in yukata, enjoying the coolness of a moment while walking around the pedestrian paradise, including foreigners.

[Sam] August 2, 2016 14:00

DSC_0514RLS.jpg The Sumida River Fireworks Festival is widely known by the common people as an event that inherits the traditional Ryogoku River Fireworks Festival.

The Sumida River Fireworks Festival, which celebrates its 39th anniversary this year, was held on July 31.

The first venue is lower Sakurabashi-Upstream Kototoi Bridge (starter: Marutamaya Kokatsu Fireworks Store Co., Ltd.), and the second venue is Komagata Bridge-Upstream Umaya Bridge (starter: Hosoya Enterprise Co., Ltd.)

At the first venue, a total of 10 fireworks contests will be held by a total of 10 companies, including 7 companies related to Ryogoku Fireworks and 3 companies with excellent results in Japan's leading fireworks festival.

Blessed with the weather, the launch of a total of about 20,000 fireworks started in the evening with loud noises.

This year, fireworks expressed in five colors will also appear in connection with the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and Paralympics just before the opening.

From 2012, it has become a new attraction to enjoy fireworks along with the appearance of the Sky Tree, but Sumida River Ohashi is one of the viewpoints that both can enjoy while looking away from Kiyosu Bridge.

Every time the fireworks are launched, a loud cheer is heard from visitors in yukata.
