Editorial introduction

The rooftop garden at Suntory Hall, usually closed to the public, opens for a limited time in autumn. While it is not a children’s event, it is an excellent opportunity for international families to enjoy some quiet nature observation between Music Week events: looking at autumn plants and flowers, searching for insects, and noticing the changing season in central Tokyo.

  • Some participation conditions remain unverified. Confirm with the organizer before booking or travelling.
