Peringatan Penting & Senarai Semak Peserta / Important Reminders & Checklist
Demi kelancaran program dan keselesaan semua, sila ambil perhatian terhadap perkara berikut:
Kod Pakaian & Cuaca: Musim bunga di Tokyo masih terasa sejuk, terutamanya di kawasan terbuka. Sila pakai pakaian yang tebal dan bersesuaian. Memandangkan cuaca dan waktu sakura berkembang adalah sukar diramal, kami menggalakkan anda membawa baju hujan atau payung sebagai persediaan awal.
Pengurusan Sampah (Dasar Tanpa Sampah): Taman Chidorigafuchi tidak menyediakan tong sampah. Setiap peserta wajib membawa plastik sampah sendiri dan membawa pulang segala sisa makanan atau bungkusan masing-masing.
Makanan & Minuman: Sila bawa bekalan bento dan minuman sendiri. Tiada aktiviti memasak atau pembakaran (BBQ) dibenarkan di kawasan taman.
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone, please take note of the following:
Dress Code & Weather: Spring in Tokyo can remain quite chilly, especially in open areas.
Please wear warm clothing. As cherry blossom timing and weather are unpredictable, we highly recommend bringing a raincoat or umbrella as a light rain contingency.
Waste Management (Carry-Your-Own-Trash Policy): Chidorigafuchi Park does not provide public trash bins. All participants must bring their own trash bags and take all waste home.
Food & Drinks: Please prepare your own bento and beverages. Open fires, portable stoves, and BBQ activities are strictly prohibited within the park premises.
Galeri Media / Media Gallery (coming soon after the event):
– A dedicated section for uploading event photos (google drive).
