Kyu Shiba Rikyu Japanese garden is celebrating the warmer weather with a special light-up in the evenings from May 24 to 27. During the event, the trees and pond of this beautiful central Tokyo park will be illuminated with purple, blue, yellow and orange lights from 6.30pm to 9.30pm. Every 20 minutes between 7pm and 9pm you can see a light show that syncs with music for five minutes. There will also be a projection mapping of a pond filled with swimming fish.
You can even have dinner in the garden at the Yakai Dining restaurant, which serves Japanese food and drinks, including a Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden craft beer.
Tickets are ¥1,000 and it’s recommended to buy them in advance online as the number of on-the-day tickets is limited.
