Tonight, in Takanawa,
experience an elegant
tsukimachi moon-waiting party
What is TAKANAWA NIJUROKUYA?
"Moon Viewing at Takanawa Nijurokuya"
from the series "Famous Places in the Eastern Capital"
During the Edo period in Takanawa, where areas were covered with fine-view hills, there was a custom of praying and waiting for the moon to rise. The evenings of January 26th and July 26th of the lunar calendar were known as Nijurokuya-machi, when many enjoyed drinking and eating at stalls and waiting for the mysterious moon to rise.
Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa has added a modern twist to this unique aspect of Takanawa culture. Takanawa Nijurokuya offers guests moon-waiting experiences at various locations throughout the hotel.
Tonight, abandon the city’s glare for soft moonlight at the Prince Hotels in Takanawa.
