Optional Afternoon Clean UP:
As I will be on the river basically until dark, if anyone would like to come out during the afternoon. Contact me by e-mail for those arrangement, e.g., when and where to meet, etc.
Info:
If you come late, it will be about a 25-min walk to our location behind the Ichikawa Clean Spa, or take one of the Clean Spa shuttle buses to our location. Also call my cell phone 090-1847-5075 or e-mail me at yaesukita[at]gmail[dot].com if there are any problems finding us. There are restrooms in the Clean Spa (Y200 admission to the facility) at the tennis courts next to the Clean Spa (no charge)
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.
