A meeting to wash Nihonbashi, a famous bridge

On July 23, the bridge was washed in Nihonbashi. It is a summer tradition that has been held every year since 1971 under the sponsorship of the famous bridge Nihonbashi Preservation Society. On this day, the clear sky and the blue sky of midsummer are spreading.

The watering wheel of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Tokyo National Highway Office spray water on the bridge. After scattering the entire bridge, the next is the volunteer turn.

Neighboring companies, elementary school students and small children are also working hard with deck brushes. The Japanese road mark has also become shiny.

Fire trucks are also dispatched

The fire truck is out of reach. The ladder truck rose, and the members removed the bird droppings and dust dirt on the bridge nameplate with a brush, and the water was completely cleaned up. Applause comes from the people who were watching.

There were many people wearing shops and company hats, and it was like a festival. Children passing through the shiny Nihonbashi will surely value the bridge they have cleaned. In that way, Nihonbashi is a famous bridge.

Added) I met "Cair Lii", who was a correspondent of the Tourism Association, at the venue, and received a photo taken by Cair Lii. I used the first photo and the original photo. Thank you very much.
