INFO:
If you come late, it will be about a 20-min walk to our location on the river at the waterline about 100 meters down stream from the Shinjuku Line train bridge. Also call James’ (the organizer) cell phone 090-1847-5075 if there are any problems finding us.
RAIN:
In the event of light or medium rain this event will NOT be cancelled as we will use rain ware and take cover as necessary. In the event of heavy rain/strong winds (e.g., typhoon conditions) or lightning then the event will be cancelled.
Let’s have fun enjoying our local nature while making it better at the same time.
