Exclusive Moon-Viewing Experience @ Hamarikyu Gardens
Available Only Until November 5th!
If you have some free time in the evening before November 5th, Hamarikyu Gardens is definitely one of the best places to visit. Here, you can enjoy an exclusive opportunity to experience traditional Japanese moon-viewing while strolling through a historic garden originally created by the Tokugawa Shoguns.
In Japan, there is a long-standing custom called Jusanya, which celebrates the beauty of the moon on the night of the 13th day of the ninth lunar month — corresponding to November 2nd in the Gregorian calendar this year.
During this special period, the garden will be illuminated with beautifully lit bridges, pathways, trees, and teahouses. At the Nakajima-no-Ochaya teahouse, located on an island in the center of the pond, you can savor matcha green tea and nerikiri (traditional Japanese sweets) as well as sake and tsukudani (soy-simmered delicacies). Let the moonlight and the garden’s quiet beauty make your autumn night unforgettable.
