Gaze at the Harvest Moon in the Heart of the City

“Otsukimi” refers to a range of activities that give thanks for a bountiful harvest and celebrate the “Mid-Autumn Moon” appearing from mid to late September, believed to be the year’s most beautiful. 

Over this period, Tokyo temples and shrines hold an array of events around moon-gazing. 

One that anyone can join is the Mid-Autumn Moon Viewing Party at the Roppongi Hills Observatory, scheduled for September 29 this year.
