ADDITIONAL INFO
If you come late, it will be about a 25-min walk to our location at
the
dirty angle between the Shinjuku train line bridge and the
Kasaibashi
Bridge but much closer to the Shinjuku train line bridge.
Call the organizer (James 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.
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 event will be
cancelled (and
usually moved to a different day).
Let’s have fun enjoying our local nature while making it better at the
same time.
