On August 24 and 25, the 29th Chuo-ku Oedo Festival Bon Dance Festival was held at Hamacho Park (Nihonbashihama-cho 2). .
The magnificent wadaiko and singing voice echo in the night sky, centered on the large turret colored by Japanese lantern, the circle of dance spreads in multiple layers, and the venue is filled with enthusiasm.
There are plenty of fun, including the fair corner, familiar specialty markets in the ward, friendship and exchange cities with local specialties (Hinohara Village, Fujikawaguchiko Town, Higashine City, Tochigi City, Tamano City) / antenna shop corner.
A total of 14 songs have been added, including the ward's original song "This is Edo Bon Dance", and "Tokyo Olympics Ondo-2020-", which was remade to foster a spirit for the Tokyo 2020 Games from this year.
It is a festival that conveys history, tradition, and "smart and humanity" with a feeling that has been completely established as a summer tradition in the main ward.

There is a favorite scenery at the point overlooking the Sumida River toward Asakusa, Eitai Bridge in the back and Cheongju Bridge in the front.
While turning around the heavy Eitai Bridge, you tend to be absorbed in the contrast between the elegant Cheongju Bridge and the Tokyo Sky Tree, but there is a skyscraper with a gate-like pyroti in the direction of Hakozaki (left hand).
It seems that both sides are living spaces, and the floor above Piloti is used as an office.
Going upstream Sumida River, I have a favorite view point of mine in between Eitaibashi Bridge and Kiyosubashi Bridge.
People usually look back to see stately Eitaibashi Bridge as well as looking forward to see elegant Kiyosubashi Bridge and Tokyo Skytree behind, but there is an interesting builiding adopting piloti frame on the Hakozaki (letf) side of the river. Both sides of lower floors are residence and floors above piloti are for business offices.
Of course, I like Eitai Bridge and Cheongju Bridge, but the buildings seen from the river look different from those seen on the ground. Viewing the scenery from the boat is one of the best sightseeing spots to recommend.
Eitaibashi Bridge and Kiyosubashi Bridge are also lovely, but observing various buildings from the river is so different from seeing them on the ground that can attract you so much.
River cruising is one the activity that can never let you down.
