Tennoz Isle is an "island" surrounded by canals on all sides. Since the island was developed as an art island from the beginning, there are theaters and art halls, and the townscape has an artistic feel to it. Since its establishment, our association has set the goal of increasing awareness of Tennoz Isle and creating excitement in the run-up to the Tokyo 2020 Games, and has undertaken various initiatives such as the Tennoz Canal Fes and the Tennoz Art Festival. Our next goal is to turn Tennoz Isle into a tourist destination, and we are working on further refining the existing content. Furthermore, we are developing an art tour to sell the artworks that we have been installing as local tourism products. Creating the function of a tourist information center that receives visiting tourists. Through these initiatives, we aim to become a new urban tourist destination in Tokyo.
