From Nihonbashi, we will guide you to the mist spot in front of Tokyo Nihonbashi Tower.
If you think "Where is Tokyo Nihonbashi Tower?", It is around where there is a Japanese paper shop "Haibara Nihonbashi Main Store" and an antenna shop in Shiga Prefecture "Koko Shiga".
Here, four street trees are equipped with mist devices, making it a thankful spot that offers shades, chairs, and mist together.

Unfortunately, I didn't know until the period, but the mist time is from 8:30 to 17:00 during the day when the temperature rises.

When I was cooling around this mist, a passing couple told me, "It's completely different (coolness) near and far away from the mist," and a little communication was born.
It is a perfect spot to relieve the heat during work, shopping, sightseeing, and during lunch breaks.

Next, we will show you the mist spot of Tsukiji River Ginza Park (south side).
This was previously mentioned in the "Chuo-ku Touring with Birth Flowers" series, but this year the mist device has been in operation since the end of June!
As you can see, there is a mist from the top, so you can enjoy the coolness of standing or sitting on a bench.♪

This is managed by the Water and Green Division of the Environment and Civil Engineering Department, Chuo-ku, and the mist outbreak period is from the last Friday of June to the fourth Sunday of September, and the outbreak time is from 10:00 to 16:00 every day, shorter than the mist in Nihonbashi.
There are not many places to cool indoors between the center of Ginza and the Tsukiji Outer Market, so this park, which is located almost halfway between the two, is perfect for heat stroke.
It is especially recommended for those who visit Ginza and Tsukiji together!

By the way, is anyone concerned about the water quality of outdoor water supply, fountain, mist?
Regarding the mist here, tap water is used as shown on the signboard, and the equipment is installed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Heat Response Equipment Maintenance Subsidy Project (Cool Spot Creation Support Project).
The Q&A of this project describes securing the quality of water discharged from dry mist as follows.

For dry-type mist, tap water that does not remove chlorine will be used, and the water quality will be secured by one of the following methods, and the operation status and the replacement status of tap water will be managed in a diary, etc. If requested by the capital, it will be eligible for the grant, provided that this is presented.
・Directly connect the dry mist and the water supply so that water does not stay for more than one day (when spraying more than one day after the previous spraying, remove the water remaining in the equipment before spraying)
・When spraying tap water stored in the tank without being directly connected to the water supply, replace the tap water in the tank and inspect the tank at least once a day, and clean the tank as necessary. To do.

You can feel safe if you know that the water used in this mist is safe, clean, and well managed.

Looking up at the mist generated against the blue sky, it looks like a cloud.
Although it was a short time, I was able to refresh while bathing in the mist that fell comfortably.

Finally, we will show you the mist spot of Hamacho Park (Green Road) directly connected to Hamacho Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line.
The green road, which is thick and well-ventilated shaded, is a valuable place for people working at nearby companies, and benches were full during lunch break.

The worrisome mist occurs between the bench and behind.
Although it is a small device, it contributes to the cooling of the area as it is, and when the wind blows, the mist floats more extensively, providing a cool landscape for the eyes.

Like the mist device of Tsukiji River Ginza Park, it is managed by Chuo-ku, and the mist generation period, time, and tap water use are the same.

Quick cool down before returning to work.
Even adults were happy when mist was coming out, and I enjoyed it as if I had returned to a little childhood (laughs).
However, on June 28th, NHK introduced "Handal Cooling" as a countermeasure against heat stroke, and this is also a really heat stroke measure!

Do you feel the coolness?
It is difficult to notice mist from the street, but if you are a Hamacho Station or Hamacho Park user, or if you work or live nearby, please drop in during a break.

Uchimizu is famous as a means of cooling in the Edo period, but when I opened a book held in the Kyobashi Library Regional Archives, "Boating" and "Yumizu" were introduced. Was.
However, you can't get on a houseboat frequently, and only birds can run water in the river in the city.
Unlike the Edo period, there is also a heat stroke measure to evacuate to an air-conditioned building, but there may be no such buildings in the surrounding area where you can easily enter.
In that case, please use mist and shade that occur in multiple places in ward by all means.
Let's have a good summer in the coming summer with frequent hydration and moderate salt replenishment!
