In the Great Tokyo Air Raid of March 10th 1945, 100,000 precious lives were lost. In a pledge never to fight another war, the anniversary of this day was established as "Tokyo Metropolitan Peace Day". There will be mourning for people lost through war, and prayers for worldwide lasting peace. On the 10th of March (Tue) at 13:00, there will be an alarm sounded from the disaster prevention station to signal a minute's silence, in which we hope you will join us.
On the 10th March (Tue), to commemorate ‘Tokyo Metropolitan
Peace Day', we will be holding the 'Mitaka Peace Film Festival'. Please
come along to watch the films, and reflect on the importance of
peace.
