Home/work Village Summer Night Garden

Home/work Village Summer Night Garden invites visitors to enjoy a relaxed summer evening in a beautifully illuminated outdoor space at HOME/WORK VILLAGE in Setagaya, Tokyo.

For this limited-time seasonal experience, the facility’s former schoolyard is transformed into a welcoming night garden, with trees decorated in gentle lights and additional seating arranged throughout the plaza. As the summer heat begins to ease, visitors can enjoy the refreshing evening breeze while spending time with friends, family, colleagues, or loved ones in a calm and atmospheric setting.

One of the highlights is the selection of takeaway food and drinks available from restaurants within HOME/WORK VILLAGE. Visitors can choose from a variety of options and enjoy their food outdoors in the illuminated plaza. Available selections include burritos, taco rice, Napolitan pasta, coffee drinks, beer, and outdoor wine, creating an easygoing food-and-drink experience for the evening.

HOME/WORK VILLAGE itself is a unique mixed-use facility created by repurposing the former Ikejiri Junior High School, bringing together shops, workspaces, learning spaces, a book lounge, gallery, gymnasium, and outdoor plaza. The Summer Night Garden makes use of this distinctive setting to create a nostalgic yet contemporary summer-night experience.
