What is "SUMMER LOUNGE" at Meiji Park?

I visited the summer event " SUMMER LOUNGE MEIJI PARK " at Meiji Park. I visited around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Tables and lights were lined up by the lawn, and the atmosphere had a "relaxed" feeling that one would not expect in the heart of the city. This time, I did not see the movie, but just went for a preview and left. I plan to go back during the event period and add my impressions of the outdoor movie and food.

  • Basic information: 8/1-8/31, 17:00-22:00 (L.O.21:40), free admission. In case of rain or stormy weather, the event will be canceled. The latest information will be posted on the official Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/summerlounge_2025/).
  • Venue presentation: tables & chairs and lighting make the park an integrated lounge. Outdoor movies will be held at the same time on weekends (films will be updated as needed).
  • Excerpt from the rules for bringing your own items: There is a notice that chairs and seats are not allowed to be brought into the park (notes for when the film is held).
  • Reservations: Some have an advance reservation page (TableCheck). It is safer to make reservations on crowded days and for groups.
