It’s necessary to have more people visit Miyakejima Island as tourists. If that’s not achieved I believe the motorcycle festival will not be able to continue for the long-term. The other day before the event’s opening I climbed the island’s Oyama Mountain with motorcycle experts and asked them about the requirements needed to hold a motocross race. I was told that the mountain had very suitable conditions and that a very exciting race could be held there; this information in turn provided me with confidence. We now hope to put together some prize money, bring in a lot of racers, and turn this into an event that attracts many visitors to the island. This is definitely an event that we’ll make happen; if we don’t, we’ll be losing a great opportunity to revive Miyakejima Island. Look forward to it. This will be a wonderful event in which spectators can watch a very thrilling motocross race held within the island’s expansive, beautiful, and very mystical natural environment.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) has conducted environmentally friendly procurement according to the TMG Policy for Green Procurement Promotion, and campaigned to reduce strain on the environment arising from day-to-day work operations.

In an effort to promote the use of renewable energies, TMG has designated “electricity” as an item subject to green procurement, and mandated that large metropolitan facilities that consume more than a set amount of power arrange electricity procurement with consideration to global warming.

As the first step, in November, the Edo Tokyo Museum will become the nation’s first public facility to make “Green Procurement” of electricity.

Ohshima is a volcano island, 120km south of the mainland Japan, and could be reached from Tokyo in about half an hour flight. The zoo was opened by a steamship company, and transferred to Tokyo City in 1935. It exhibits Japanese cranes, Japanese serows, white-tailed sea-eagle, Japanese wood pigeons as well as Aldabra giant tortoises and Hawaiian geese.

Inokashira Park Zoo is located in a quiet and distinctive suburb of Tokyo. It exhibits a variety of Japanese species and contributes to the conservation and breeding of Japanese squirrels, mandarin ducks, and swans. The park also comprises a pond, a botanical garden and Seibo Kitamura (Japanese sculptor) Museum. The park’s lush verdure offers a relaxing atmosphere for any visitors.

Please enjoy viewing realistic and dramatic displays of freshwater and marine life not only from Tokyo, but also from around the world, even from the Antarctic. In the huge 2,200-ton tank, you can enjoy watching bluefin tuna darting swiftly around. The aquarium also exhibits sea birds including penguins, and giant kelp from California, US. The facility sits on the beach of Tokyo Bay and could be reached in half an hour by train from Tokyo station.

At Tama Zoo, animals are displayed under naturalistic and spectacular habitats set up in its vast land of 52 ha (129 acres) in Hino City, one hour from central Tokyo by train. It exhibits Japanese animals such as sika deer, Yezo brown bears, and Japanese macaques, as well as animals from all over the world, such as African elephants, koalas, Indian rhinoceroses and orang-utans. The Lion Bus offers you a ride out among the lions.

Established in 1882, Ueno Zoo is the oldest zoo in Japan. It has grown over the years, expanded its area, and been a forerunner in the Japanese zoo world. Located amid the downtown Tokyo, Ueno Zoo not only provides recreation, but also plays an essential role in wildlife conservation and public education. In an effort to breed endangered species, the zoo has completed the “Gorilla Woods” and “Tiger Forests.”

The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum,founded in 1926,has been home to exhibitions of a wide variety of Japanese art organizations for over seventy years.
　After the renovation of its building in 1975,special exhibitions planned by the curators were held in addition to those exhibitions of contemporary Japanese artists’groups in the rental galleries. The museum also provided art lectures and workshops,with the open use of its art library to the public.
　 The museum now holds two kinds of exhibitions;one which is mentioned above,in the rental galleries,by contemporary artists whose works include oil paintings,traditional-style Japanese paintings,sculptures,crafts,graphic designs, calligraphy,etc
　 The other is special exhibitions organized in cooperation with newspaper and TV companies in the Museum Gallery.

Looking at past examples of public works projects such as the Isahaya Bay land reclamation and Nagaragawa River estuary weir, we can see that the government has spent much time engaged in rather pointless activities. Though such examples certainly do exist, I believe that in the case of Yamba Dam, this is a public project essential for the capital region, the nation’s most populous area.

Due to opposition by the six governors of Chiba, Gunma, Ibaragi, Saitama, Tochigi prefectures and Tokyo, the central government has said that it will conduct a thorough study of the project once more. During our meeting with the minister, Governor Kiyoshi Ueda of Saitama asked a very astute question: “If you are now going to conduct a thorough study of this project again, doesn’t this mean that not much of a study was conducted when the party’s manifesto was compiled?” I, too, agree with what Governor Ueda is saying. I believe that reviewing this project is very appropriate action, and I have considerable interest in the results of the study.

TMG Bureau of Waterworks has commenced the construction of Japan’s first megawatt-class solar power generation facility (1,200kW) at the Asaka Waterworks.  The facility, scheduled to commence operations in FY2005, will be the largest of its kind in Japan and among the largest in the world.  The construction involves building a covering over a reservoir to prevent foreign matter entering the filtration pond, placed at the final processing stage of the waterworks, and installing solar panels on the covering.  This way, we can ensure a higher level of safety in tap water, while reducing environmental strain through the use of natural energies, and cutting costs through energy conservation at the same time.

The Bureau will gradually install solar power generation facilities at a total of eight waterworks plants (with combined power generation capacity of approx. 5,200kW) over a period of four years from this fiscal year through to FY2006.  The Kanamachi Waterworks (1,120kW) and Higashi Murayama Waterworks (1,050kW) will both obtain mega-watt power generation capacities.

Mikura Island is one of the few places in Japan with an unspoiled natural environment, and it attracts an increasing number of tourists each year. This environment is a valuable asset, and in order to pass it on to future generations and to help visitors enjoy it to the full, on January 19, 2004, the TMG and Mikurajima Island inked an agreement on the appropriate use of environmental conservation areas on the island. The agreement lays out rules for enjoying the nature of the island, and under the agreement “eco-tourism” operations on the island will start in April.

Mikura Island is roughly circular, with a circumference of approx. 16 kilometers. It lies around 200 kilometers south of Tokyo, and has a population of 282. Natural features of the island include:
