This is a free-admission jazz event held since 2023 under the concept of “bringing music more casually to the streets of Nihonbashi.” When you think of Tokyo’s Nihonbashi, you might picture a district lined with historic department stores and a place that makes you want to stand up straight as you walk. How about enjoying outdoor live music and spending a grown-up evening sipping drinks like at a beer garden, as a new cultural experience for this neighborhood? It’s in an area you can stop by on your way home from work, so it could be a fresh way to enjoy your weekend.

Jazz in Fuchu takes place at more than 20 venues around Keio Line Fuchu Station. The event’s tagline is “A green city, connecting smiles through music!” With the whole town serving as a stage, people naturally gather—hopefully spreading more and more smiles.
