Tokyo Bay 100 Selections東京湾100選

"Tokyo Bay 100 Selections" reexamines the various aspects of Tokyo Bay from three perspectives: "natural assets," "cultural assets," and "social assets." The selections were made based on criteria such as "places people want to visit," "places to share with many people," and "places to preserve for future generations." Candidate sites were recommended by municipalities near Tokyo Bay and various organizations, and the final selections were determined through a public vote involving over 10,000 participants. The target area includes the coastal and marine landscapes from Susaki in Chiba Prefecture to Tsurugizaki in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Among the "natural assets," selections focused on the asset value of natural resources such as coastlines, sandy beaches, rocky shores, water quality, and scenery. "Cultural assets" emphasize the value of spaces where people gather to enjoy lively activity and relaxation. "Social assets" highlight the asset value of historical sites and landmarks, as well as infrastructure such as bridges and warehouses that support people's daily lives as "social spaces."

The selection committee included many notable figures representing various fields, such as Teruhisa Kitahara, director of the Yokohama Tin Toy Museum; Sakana-kun, the Fish Ambassador of Tateyama; writer Hinako Sugiura; and manga artist Taira Hara, generating significant public interest.
