Make the most of the hydrangeas and sharpen your sketching skills at this group event in Sumida Park.
What to expect
Sumida Park may be known for its cherry blossoms, but in June, hydrangeas are the star of the show. During this event, you’ll get a chance to enjoy the flowers and meet new people during a stroll around the park. Then, sitting by the river, let nature be your muse as you sketch your surroundings.
Not just for seasoned artists, this event is for anyone who wants to enjoy the early summer flowers while chatting and getting to know new people. Swap stories, share your sketches, and relax to the sounds of the river in one of Tokyo’s top spots for hydrangeas.
Where to meet
Meet at 12 p.m. just outside Exit 4 of Asakusa Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line. Organizers will be there holding a “WeLearn” sign. If you get lost or can’t find the group, get in touch via LINE.
