SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY SUMMIT
Mobility Summit in the Era of Sustainability
This large-scale event is based on the theme of a next-generation mobility society that takes into account issues of environmental pollution and over-tourism. Nihonbashi was the starting point of the five routes known as the “Gokaido” and had served as a historically important nexus in the regional land and water transportation network. This event will utilize the existing boulevards and waterfronts in Nihonbashi to give visitors a holistic experience of the city and probe the future possibilities of mobility.
STREET PARADE
A main street parade allowing visitors to experience the future of mobility
- PLACE

The mobility industry is engaged in a wide range of initiatives, including converting tourist buses to electric vehicles, autonomous driving of public buses, and batteries fueled by plastic waste. This event will take place on Chuo-dori Avenue, the main street of Nihonbashi, where the latest mobility technologies will be showcased in practice. In addition, a procession of horse carriages, rickshaws, charcoal-fueled automobiles, and bicycles will take place as part of an exhibition that offers visitors an expansive view of the long history of mobility. This parade will depart from Nihonbashi. As in the past and the future, Nihonbashi has been and will be the starting point of travel.
＊Events that require the closure of roads (e.g., Chuo-dori Avenue) must be of high public interest and held in collaboration with organizations in the Nihonbashi area. If you are interested in events that make use of Chuo-dori Avenue, please feel free to contact us.

CRUISE
Cruise tour through the future landscape of Nihonbashi

The expressway that passes over Nihonbashi will be going underground in around 2040. In view of that, development plans of both coasts are currently being formulated and the overall landscape of Nihonbashi is expected to undergo dramatic changes. While cruises from Nihonbashi River to Sumida River and Tokyo Bay remain popular today, visitors are welcome to put on VR goggles to enjoy a cruise that shows them around the future landscape of Nihonbashi. Simply put on the goggles to enjoy the area’s future landscape as a new Nihonbashi unfolds before your eyes. Part of the cruise fees will be donated to projects aimed at enhancing the river’s surrounding environment and other initiatives that reinforce Nihonbashi’s status as a riverside city.
