If you come late, it will be about a 25-min walk to our location behind
Clean Center (incineration plant) and the Clean Spa. First walk to the
Myoden Bridge, cross it, and enter the rierside path on the embankement.
Then head in the direction of Tokyo Bay until you see us along the water
line. 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.
