Ice in the stream keeps you cool from the feet up
At ASHIMIZU, we perform the ice pouring into the stream twice a day. The sparkling ice is cool to the eye, and the cool murmur of the stream eases the summer heat from your feet.
【Performing Time】 first time 15:30 / second time 17:00
* Ice pouring may be changed or canceled without prior notice depending on weather conditions.
Shade that creates the shade of a tree
The design of the shade, with its overlapping veins of leaves, is inspired by the lush green leaves in Midtown Garden. The flow of water and the murmuring of the stream underfoot, which used to be among the leaves of Cinnamomum camphora, Cercidiphyllum japonicum Celtis sinensis, ginkgo biloba, which are rich in individuality, are linked to create a comfortable time as if you were relaxing in a stream under the shade of a tree.

There are a wide variety of cool-looking sweets for both adults and children, including the ever-popular shaved ice and parfaits!

Mission Roppongi Uchimizu
"Uchimizu" will be held for the first time in five years on the "Taishonohi (very hot day)" of the 24 seasons, which is said to be the hottest day of the year. Uchimizu, which was popularized in the Edo period, is a wisdom of life that alleviates the heat by sprinkling water on the road surfaces and in the gardens. As water evaporates, it removes heat from the ground, so it helps to prevent heat island effects. Why don't you feel "cool" together through the old-fashioned customs at dusk?

●Let's make a wooden money box
When making a furniture, there is inevitably some wood left over. Small and thin wood is not enough to make furniture and unfortunately can be thrown away. Why don't you make your original money box using such leftover wood? It is a small but magnificent piece of wood. The grain of the wood shines beautifully when coated with furniture oil. We hope you will use it for your free research and craftwork during the summer vacation.
