National Alley Summit in Izu Shimoda

About this event

"National Alley Summit in Izu Shimoda" is an annual event hosted by the National Council of Alley Towns, bringing together people engaged in alley-based town development. Held in commemoration of the 170th anniversary of the opening of Shimoda Port, it marks its 19th edition this year. At the event, alley-themed town walks and talk sessions will be held, fostering interaction with local residents as well. The town walks will be divided into three courses: "Course to Consider the Future of Shimoda," "Architecture Course," and "Alley Council Course," and the summit will be held at Roadside Station "Kaikoku Shimoda Minato." In addition to illustration map creator Mie Takahashi, Alley Council Niigata representative Takahiro Nouchi, and architect Akihiro Noda, Shimoda Mayor Matsuki and Shimoda City Scenery Town Planning Council member Mariko Takarada will participate in the talk sessions. On the second day, an alley tour around the Suzaki seaside and the Rendaiji hot spring district will also take place, guided by Associate Professor Dan Ogawa of Komazawa Women's University. In addition, the "Your Favorite 'With Alley' Photo Contest" will also be held, with winning entries displayed and awarded at the summit venue. Participation is free.
