Toshimaen: In Front of Japan's Oldest Carousel

At the end of August, Toshimaen closed its doors after a long history. The stage is set at the carousel Eldorado, Japan's oldest carousel and a symbol of Toshimaen. The wooden decorations in the Art Nouveau style create a fantastical world. An elderly couple who have been riding the carousel on every date since before they were married. A young man trying to recall the days when his family was close. A woman who wants to show her late mother her renewed strength. What memories has the carousel carried? We observe the final three days before the park's closure.
