Chill Out Evening at Kyu Yasuda Teien

Officially ‘Noryo no Yube’ (translates to something like refreshing evening), this event at the Kyuu Yasuda Teien garden features a light up of the gardens as well as tea ceremony performances and traditional koto playing. There will also be ‘yatai’ (outdoor food vendors) serving Japanese summer festival food. It’s an approximately 7-minute walk from Ryogoku Station on the banks of the Sumida River. It’s in a garden, so go well prepared with protection from the mosquitoes.
