Ancient wisdom keeps us cool! Enjoy Tokyo’s summer in an eco-friendly way

From July 7 to September 3, the summer-only event ECO EDO Nihonbashi is held in the Nihonbashi, Yaesu, and Kyobashi areas near Tokyo Station.

Common-sense wisdom and strategies to beat the summer heat from Edo period (1603-1868) Nihonbashi are presented with modern sophistication in this 15th year of the popular event.

Period: August 10th (Thu.) and August 11th (Fri., Holiday)
Event Location: Naka-dori (Near Fukutoku Forest)

Uchimizu is not only a way to cool down the temperature by splashing water on the pavement, but also a way to welcome guests.

You can experience the traditional Japanese summer scenery by looking at the banners for Uchimizu.

420 years from the establishment of the government, the old spirit of Edo continues to live on in the present day Nihonbashi.
  • The splashing of cool water…
  • The sound of summer breeze…
  • The clacking of wooden geta on pavement…

This town has long lived in harmony with nature. Why don't you take a summer stroll, savoring the cool breeze, through the past and the present?
