Blooming Red in the Heart of the City「TOKYO RED GARDEN AUTUMN FESTIVAL 2018」

As temperatures dip, and Japan finds itself with cooler weather, it isn’t uncommon to see the colors of the leaves change into vibrant hues of red. To welcome the fall season this year, Happo-en Garden will be hosting a limited-time event, the “HAPPO-EN TOKYO RED GARDEN 2018,” from November 1^st (Thurs.) through December 6^th (Thurs.).

On weekends, visitors can sip on some alcoholic beverages from the “Red Bar” as they enjoy vivid colors of the autumn foliage. In addition to a signature cocktail made to compliment the season, garden-goers will also have an opportunity to order a sake cocktail. For even more of a “fall in Japan” type of experience, visitors can try their hands at koyogari (red leaf hunting) and relax with a cup of hot tea. If you’re looking for something more exciting, be sure to watch out for the DJ NIGHT event to be held during this period.
