We apologize for the inconvenience, but we kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation so that you may have time when you go out.

Since this work is a rare work that uses one of the largest 800-ton cranes in Japan, we are making adjustments so that people living near the construction site and people involved in the media can see the pattern. So, as soon as the details are decided, we will inform you separately.
