On this upcoming August 4th, one of the most beautiful event in Tokyo will be held near the Imperial Palace. It’s called Chiyoda-ku Noryo no Yube (Lantern Floating Event), where you and your loved ones or friends, can board a small row boat and enjoy the spectacular scenery of 600 beautifully light-up lanterns gently swaying in the moat of the Imperial Palace.

We recommend you not to miss this event, especially with the blistering summer heat, there’s no better time to gush down a pint of beer and enjoy the night scenery of the imperial palace surrounded by beautiful lanterns and LED illumination.

To participate in this event, a booking is required to secure yourself a boat on the day of the event. While the reservation goes out real fast, do not fret, as viewing from the side is just as beautiful and panoramic.
