Discover the Future City Powered by Hydrogen

As climate crises worsen year by year and energy-related global situations become more complex, hydrogen appears as a key player in achieving both decarbonization and energy stability. In response, Tokyo is taking significant strides to promote hydrogen energy across the region.

In celebration of February 1, recognized as "Tokyo Hydrogen Day," we are excited to announce a vibrant event aimed at people of all ages. Participants can engage in a variety of experiences, including science shows and hydrogen cooking demonstrations, that will bring the concept of a hydrogen society closer to home.

This exciting event, titled 'Future City Powered by Hydrogen', will be held at the innovative TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY, a space implemented with cutting-edge environmental technologies that advance future urban development. We warmly welcome all to join in and discover the benefits of this clean energy source!
