Shinjuku Golden Gai Summer Evening Thanksgiving

An usual event at an usual place 'Golden Gai' to celebrate a summer evening where most stores in the area participate and set up a stall in front of their shop. On the night, most bars open their door for anyone to enjoy and taste what Golden Gai is like.

Although it was raining hard that night, there were still quite a number of people enjoying the event and having fun despite the bad weather.

The event is usually held around the end of August, mark your calendar for next year! Otherwise I think they should do this event every month!
