Summer may be coming to an end, and Tokyo’s beer gardens are starting to wrap up, but we can still enjoy some final moments in the sun outdoors. The city still has plenty of restaurants and bars with outdoor terraces where you can enjoy a pint of beer out in the open. But if you’re looking for somewhere a little more spacious and scenic, make your way to the Sumidagawa River Terrace.
The Sumidagawa River Outdoor Terrace in Etchujima is looking to make the waterfront a little more enticing for the public from September 17 to October 29. On Sundays from 11am to 5pm, the area will be set up with tables and chairs to accommodate 30 people, plus three food trucks serving a variety of food and drinks. Aside from table seating, the grass lawns and benches by the river are just as perfect for lounging around while reading, socialising or snacking.
Nearby, Sumidagawa Marche will also be hosting stalls selling treats and knick-knacks all day.
The outdoor terrace is a short five-minute walk from Etchujima station, or ten minutes on foot from Monzennakacho or Tsukishima stations. The Sumidagawa River Outdoor Terrace will not happen on rainy days, so make sure you check its Twitter for updates.
