ECO EDO Executive Committee and Nihonbashi Muromachi Area Management today announced that it would hold “ECO EDO Nihonbashi 2022: Enjoy Cool Edo with all Five Senses” from Friday, July 8 to Sunday, September 4. This regular summer event is in its 14th year.
ECO EDO Nihonbashi is a series of events around the area with a contemporary take on ryo wo toru (cooling down in summer)–the wisdom and ideas for daily life cultivated in the Edo Period. Visitors can enjoy cooling down with all five senses in traditional Japanese style, by eating flavorsome food (limited season Summer Gourmet menus), through fashion (wearing yukata), and seeing and listening to traditional windchimes.
In 2022, the popular Windchime Forest Path returns for the first time in three years and on a bigger scale, expanding mainly in Nihonbashi Muromachi, as well as in two other locations. It offers neighborhood walking trails with the cooling effect of summer windchimes. Other attractions such as the Summertime Stroll Menu and “Cool Edo” themed events encourage visitors to explore Nihonbashi on foot this summer.
