Livening Up the Kanda Festival as a Member of the Local Neighborhood Association
PACIFIC CONSULTANTS relocated the Headquarters from Seiseki-Sakuragaoka in Tama City, Tokyo, to its current location in September 2015. This move also meant becoming a member of the Kanda Nishikicho 3-chome Neighborhood Association, known as the "Neighborhood Association closest to the Imperial Palace in Kanda" and the "Birthplace of Japan's first university (the University of Tokyo)," a distinctive educational district with many schools and campuses. The long-established neighborhood association is also committed to preserving the local tradition of the Kanda Festival, and PACIFIC CONSULTANTS is also participating in these activities. Terue KAMINO and Masanori IWATA of Architecture Dept., who have been actively involved in the festival since the relocation, Mizuki YASHIRO of Tunnel Dept. Department, Ryotaro ONUMA of the Architecture Dept., and Miki NAOKI of Aviation Dept. who served as organizer of this year's Kanda Festival, looked back on their efforts.
