EXCITING YAMANASHI AND MORE

There used to be a replica of the Japan’s First Street-Fountain and Bluff Gutter that was donated by Yokohama-city in Showa 57 (1982) in front of Doshi Village Hall. However, I did not see it anywhere, so I asked a person in the village office. According to him, the location where the fountain replica was is under renovation. The replica was removed and stored somewhere else. It would be returned to the original location sometime in the year of 2026.

The replica should look like this.

Renewal. This site is full, so new articles will be posted on EXPERIENCE YAMANASHI AND MORE _ EXPLORE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD (https://yamanashietsuo.net). The articles between April 14, 2017 and September 23, 2018 were updated on the renewal site. From now on, please visit both sites: this original site (https://etsuo.tokyo) and the renewal site.

Another warm day during the golden week. There were a lot of fishing people along Lake Chiyoda.
