The Otemachi-Marunouchi-Yurakucho Summer Festival 2022, an annual summer event in the Otemachi, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho district, will be held on Friday, July 29, 2022.
This event will provide an opportunity for businesses, workers, and visitors in the area to experience the Japanese summer culture and coolness of summer. The event aims to provide an opportunity for businesses, workers, and visitors in the area to experience the Japanese “summer Japanese culture” and “coolness” and to become a “place of connection” where participants can share a common awareness of environmental protection.
"Marunouchi de Uchimizu"
In this year’s “Marunouchi de Uchimizu,” a summer tradition now in its 17th year, participants will sprinkle water together with workers and visitors to the city. The water used is gray water discharged from buildings in the event area, providing an opportunity for participants to become more environmentally conscious.
This year, the number of participants will be limited to a maximum of 50 people at a time, and the water will be sprinkled while maintaining a distance of approximately 2 meters between participants, allowing visitors to enjoy the traditional Japanese coolness of the water.
