Week 8: Tokyo Night Market

I went to the Tokyo Night Market in Yoyogi Park this week. There were lots of different vendors, ranging from food, drinks, crafts, art, and also live music in this vibrant night market. The Tokyo Night Market is generally held multiple times a year, around May and October, but in 2025, there will be one in July as well. I enjoyed a roast pork bowl and a kebab sandwich, which were both very delicious. The event was also really close to the station, and it was a peaceful walk at night.

This week, there was also a Hokkaido fest happening in Takashimaya, a mall in Shinjuku. There were many vendors from all around Hokkaido. I got a muscat grape ice cream and a kaisendon (seafood bowl).

I also visited Nishiaraidashi Temple in Adachi. I was excited to see the Wisteria trees outside the temple, but unfortunately, it was a little too late, and they were out of bloom. However, it was still very calm and peaceful in the garden and the scenery was beautiful. The temple grounds also featured a salt idol, which is believed to cure warts.
