Seijun Nishihata, also known as a "plant hunter," travels around the world in search of plants. Maybe many people are paying attention to how they are active in various events and projects.

The summer-only beer terrace "SUMMER FOREST with SUNTORY Foresty" will open on June 19th at the commercial facility "Yoyogi VILLAGE" produced by Mr. Nishihata. The garden inside the facility has been upgraded as a new "forest bathing experience type beer terrace"!


Yoyogi VILLAGE is right next to the Yoyogi Seminar building right after leaving JR Yoyogi Station. The first floor is roughly divided into "VILLAGE ZONE" and "CONTAINER ZONE". The restaurant "code kurkku" and this beer terrace are lined up in VILLAGE ZONE, and restaurants are lined up in CONTAINER ZONE.


As soon as you pass through the entrance gate, you will be greeted by lively plants. Olives, which are estimated to be 500 years old, pillar cacti that have never been seen, and cedars of Himalayan are all rare and you will take a closer look. Each plant also comes with an explanation plate, so it may be a good idea to make a note of what you are interested in.


But these are just the beginning. When you enter VILLAGE ZONE through a green tunnel made of Airplants, you will be filled with existing bottle trees, bananas, various palm trees, Augusta and many other tropical plants. The theme is "the only forest in the world". Every plant is so big that it really feels like you're in a tropical country.


Beer Terrace offers drinks and food for this period only, including cocktails made with Suntory's carbonated soft drink "Foresti Mori no Soda". Looking up at the refreshing foresty scent of Foresty in one hand, you will see the Docomo Tower over the lush vegetation. Is it just an oasis in the city?


In addition, at each CONTAINER ZONE store, you can freely order the menu with cash-on support. You can easily enjoy various meals as if you were walking around a summer stall.

An urban forest that makes you want to stop by while visiting the area around Shinjuku. If you like rare plants and gardening, please come visit us! By the way, on the 2nd floor of the facility, there is also Seijun Nishihata's consulting office "Sora Botanical Garden", and it seems that visitors other than consultation can also tour the garden (only during facility business hours).

The beer terrace is open from 18:00 to 22:00 (CONTAINER ZONE is until 24:00) and will be held until September 30th. Details of drinks and menus are also introduced on our sister site "En-eating".
