Midtown Summer
Tokyo Midtown has a packed programme of summer fun this year. If you want to take it easy, cool down at Midtown Garden’s Ashimizu area. The gentle stream here has been transformed into a foot bath, open between 3pm and 9pm (closed on Tuesdays). It can accommodate up to 70 people at a time and best of all, it’s free. Towels are available at ¥100 each, but of course, you can always bring your own.
Feeling wiped out by the summer heat? Make a beeline for the restaurants and cafés at Tokyo Midtown, now hosting a refreshing summer sweets fair featuring cool desserts such as the hyuganatsu and unshu orange kakigori shaved ice at Toraya, glace au chocolat doux ice cream at Jean-Paul Hévin, amazake watermelon juice at Sake Shop Fukumitsuya and more.
