Summer illuminations at Tokyo Midtown delivering all the goodness!

This waterfall made of animated LEDs is conveniently paired with a pop-up mojito stand, so you can ooh and ah at the light-up while getting lit up yourself.

Which would you rather do: Enjoy the serenity of a cascading river while sipping a cocktail? Or swat mosquitoes while smearing on blister cream after a pesky hike?

Naturally, there are also occasional fireworks. Because summer.

They look kind of pixellated in the still photo, so here’s a little video to show you that they were actually more fun in real life (nothing to do with the mojito SHUT UP)

Bonus attraction: you can dabble your tootsies in a cool stream if you get a token from the guy at the table outside this snaky thing.

Sadly you can only see the waterfall for two more nights, because summer officially ends on Sunday, August 28th at Tokyo Midtown.

Would you like to be whisked away to Japan, wherever you are?

It’s the year 1784 and the shōgun rules with an iron fist . . . except within the walled pleasure quarter of Yoshiwara. Inside the Great Gate, samurai law does not apply, and it’s women who pull the strings

“The Samurai’s Octopus…is a truly remarkable book, one that surprised and charmed me at every turn of the page. You’re in for a treat.”
—James Ziskin, Anthony, Barry, and Macavity Award-winning author of the Ellie Stone mysteries
