Time IN Tokyo

Autumn in Tokyo: Art, Jazz, and Vibrant Neighborhoods

Welcome to 'Time IN Tokyo' on this vibrant Tuesday, September 24, 2024. As you step out into the city, you're greeted by a mild autumn breeze, with temperatures hovering around 23°C and a refreshing wind speed of 33 km/h.

Let's take a quick snapshot of the city's current vibe: The air quality in Tokyo is surprisingly good today, with PM2.5 levels well below the World Health Organisation's recommended limits, making it a perfect day to explore the city.

Now, let's dive into some of the exciting events happening today:

- For culture enthusiasts, the Tokyo National Museum is hosting a special exhibition on ancient Japanese art, featuring rare artifacts and interactive displays.
- Music lovers, get ready for the Tokyo Jazz Festival, which kicks off today in the Yoyogi Park area, featuring both local and international jazz artists.
- Families can enjoy the Autumn Leaves Festival at the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, where you can marvel at the early signs of fall foliage and participate in traditional Japanese activities.
- As the sun sets, head over to the Shibuya area for a lively night of karaoke and street food at the famous Nonbei Yokocho alley.

In local news, Tokyo is buzzing with the opening of a new Michelin-starred restaurant in the Roppongi district, offering an innovative fusion of Japanese and French cuisine. Also, be aware that there are some scheduled maintenance updates on the Tokyo Metro lines, so plan your commute accordingly.

For must-do activities today, consider visiting the Tsukiji Outer Market for a fresh sushi breakfast, or take a stroll through the Imperial Palace East Garden for some serene and historic scenery. If you're looking for a hidden gem, explore the Nezu Museum, which boasts a stunning Japanese garden and an impressive collection of pre-modern Japanese and East Asian art.

Here’s a local tip: When navigating Tokyo’s complex subway system, use the Suica or Pasmo cards for seamless travel. These prepaid cards can be used not only for public transit but also for purchases at many convenience stores and vending machines.

Before we wrap up, here’s a sneak peek into tomorrow: The Tokyo Game Show is set to begin, attracting gamers from all over the world. Also, the Asakusa Samba Carnival will take place, bringing vibrant Brazilian culture to the streets of Tokyo.

Have you heard about the 2018 study that showed half of prenatal vitamins tested, had unacceptable levels of heavy metals? No. Well, now you have. I'm Kat, mother of three, and founder of Ritual, the company making traceability the new standard in the supplement industry. I remember staring at my prenatal vitamins and finding all these things I was trying to avoid. High amounts of heavy metals, synthetic colorants, and unnecessary ingredients. So at four months pregnant, I quit my job and started ritual, because I believe that all women deserve to know what they're putting in their bodies and why. I'm so proud of our prenatal vitamin.
