Seiko House Ginza's clock tower gets a Mickey Mouse makeover!

 On Thursday, October 5, 2023, Mickey Mouse will appear on the face of the Seiko House Ginza clock tower, a symbol of Ginza, Tokyo. His hands serve as the hour and minute hands. This is part of an event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the founding of Disney.

 The first Seiko House Ginza clock tower was completed in 1894. The second was built in 1932 and continues to watch over the city to this day. This is the first time that a character has been featured on the clock tower since the first was completed. The unveiling ceremony took place just after 10am on October 5th, and the clock tower's special dial was unveiled.

This is the first time the clock tower has been remodeled since the original was completed in 1894. Mickey Mouse's hands act as hands pointing to the time. The north and south sides of the clock tower have been remodeled, and the south side can be seen clearly from the Ginza 4-Chome intersection.

 This special clock tower can be enjoyed until midnight on Saturday, November 18th, which is Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse's birthday. At night, it will be lit up in purple to match the theme of "Moments of Magic at the Clock Tower" (an event that began on August 10th to celebrate Disney's 100th anniversary, featuring a collection of limited-edition products for adults).

 The central display also has a special design. Lamps are placed around a Mickey Mouse-themed clock, and the light from the lamps moves as if they were operating the clock on the roof.

 Just like the clock tower, the Mickey Mouse-themed dial features gears arranged around it, with both hands pointing to the hours and minutes. The display is also surrounded by lamps whose light moves like a pendulum, creating the illusion of the clock on the rooftop in motion. There are also many other highlights, such as the way the mouse spins his hands in time with the chimes that ring from the rooftop every hour. This display will be on display from October 5th (Thursday) to November 19th (Sunday). It can be enjoyed every day from 8am to 10pm (until 7pm on the final day).

 During this period, limited items celebrating Disney's 100th anniversary will be sold at Wako Ginza.
