RIVER CLEAN UP
Gather at Kojimashinden Station outside the only ticket gate at 13:00 and then go to the Tamagawa River and pick up trash along the banks for about about 3.5 to 4 hours.
INFO:
If you come late, it will be about a 25-min walk to our location under or near the new Tamagawa Sky Bridge (But walk straight to the river first as there is no access from the bridge.) Also call James (the organizer) cell phone 090-1847-5075 if there are any problems finding us.
RAIN:
In the event of light or medium rain this event will NOT be cancelled as we will move to and from the river by car and we can clean up under cover the bay front bridges as a Plan B as well as adjacent areas using rain ware. In the event of heavy rain/strong winds (e.g., typhoon conditions) or lightning then the event will be cancelled.
Let’s have fun enjoying our local nature while making it better at the same time.
