What to expect

We begin in Ebisu, with its sprawling Garden Place painted in shadows cast by its trellised canopy. Next, we head to Roppongi for a few hidden spots before entering the impressive National Art Center to take advantage of its massive glass facade, and the shadows it casts. Finally, we’ll head to Yurakucho for an exploration of the hidden depths of the Tokyo International Forum. Other things to note: You'll need a 100% charge on your phone /camera. Comfortable shoes. A suica/pasmo card for the metro if possible.
