Look at this watermelon water tank in Chiba!!
It is 33.8 meters in diameter and 37 meters tall.
I wish it was filled with watermelon juice! Such a cute way to decorate.
It makes you feel cool just to look at it!
This city is in the North of Chiba and is called Tomisato.
It is Japan's second largest producer of Suica Watermelon!
