NIHONBASHI PUB & JAZZFri 10/31 – Sun 11/2, Tokyo Metropolis
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.
