The 3rd Summer Festival Is Coming!

Following Last Year’s Success, the 3rd Summer Evening Festival Will Be Held!

We are pleased to announce that the 3rd Summer Evening Festival will take place again this year as part of our annual summer tradition. This year’s event is co-hosted with the Sakae-cho Apartment Residents’ Association, with support from the Tokyo Government’s “Local Community Empowerment Project Grant.”

We are planning fun events such as food stalls, a raffle (raffle tickets will be distributed to members of the Yotsuya and Sakae-cho Apartment Residents’ Associations), and traditional Bon dancing. The food stalls operated by our local volunteers will offer items starting at just 50 yen, making them affordable even for children.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave a message in the guestbook at the bottom of the page.
