Tokyo Rainbow Sewer Museum Updates

The Tokyo Rainbow Sewer Museum, located in Ariake, Koto City, has recently undergone a logo redesign in harmony with its newly refreshed mascot, Earth-kun, unveiled in September 2024. The updated logo employs a bold, stable font that conveys the reliability of the Tokyo sewer system and the museum itself. The design integrates both straight and curved lines, achieving a balance between readability and excitement, which invites visitors to feel a sense of familiarity. Each letter of the word "Rainbow" is adorned in bright colors, creating a vibrant connection with the museum's name.

Spring Break Special Event

In addition to the logo change, the museum is thrilled to announce a Spring Break Special Event scheduled for March 29, 2024. This event promises a diverse range of engaging programs aimed at familiarizing visitors with the sewer system. Attendees will have the chance to participate in a "Sewer System Quiz Rally," various hands-on experiences related to sewer services, and collaborate on creative projects. A highlight of the day will be a meet-and-greet with the museum’s beloved mascot, Earth-kun, in costume!
