Carp streamers festival in Suzukawa As part of Suzukawa's environmental protection activities and the healthy development of children, each family had their unwanted Carp streamers swim, but when I see Carp streamers swimming energetically under the blue sky with Mt. Fuji in the background, I feel Spring every year.

During Golden Week, colorful Carp streamers appear in front of the main entrance on the first floor of Tokyo Tower. Carp streamers began when they decorated streamers in the shape of carp in hopes of the healthy growth of boys during the Dragon Boat Festival, but 333 Carp streamers were displayed to match the height of Tokyo Tower at 333m. It is spectacular to see them fluttering in the wind and swimming in the sky in unison.

Akitani / Tateishi Coast I have been going here several times a year for more than 30 years to see Mt. Fuji. This landscape, painted by the Edo period landscape painter Hiroshige Ando under the title "Aishu Miura Akiya no Sato," is a typical Japanese landscape, and personally, the sunset of Mt. Fuji and the single pine tree that grows wild on the rocky shore make me feel nostalgic.
