and
the
Kasaibashi
Bridge but much closer to the Shinjuku train
line
bridge.
Call the organizer (James 090-1847-5075) if there are

finding us.
RAIN
In the event of light or medium rain, this event will NOT
be
cancelled.
Please bring rain gear and we will take shelter (under
a
bridge) until
any downpours let up. In the event of heavy
rain/strong
winds (e.g.,
typhoon conditions) or lightning, then the

usually moved to a different day).
Let’s have fun enjoying our local nature while making it better at
the
same time.
