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 haiku 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.
