On March 17, 25 years after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, a gathering of memorials was held in Tokyo, where the people gathered and mourned the victims.
After the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, this meeting was held for the first time in Tokyo last year to share the thoughts of the earthquake with people who have left Kobe and many who have not experienced the earthquake. It is the second time.
At the venue, Yoyogi Park in Shibuya Ward, a member of the executive committee who moved to Tokyo participated in a memorial gathering held in Kobe City on the morning of the 17th, and made 250 candles in the form of “1.17”. Lined up.
After 5:00 pm, we connected to the venue in Kobe via the Internet, and lit the candles at the venue with the light of hope held in Kobe.
At 5:46 pm, 12 hours after the quake, about 300 people gathered at the venue and silenced for one minute.
The Executive Committee will continue gathering in Tokyo from next year.
