A shady way to go alfresco: Tokyo’s outdoor dining spots to escape the sun
From leafy rooftops to parasol-filled terraces, the city is full of ways to enjoy a bite and a drink without hunkering down inside.
Tokyo's hot August weather presents a challenge for those looking to dine outdoors. The high humidity and intense sunlight can make alfresco dining feel more like a trial of endurance rather than a relaxing pastime. However, as the summer months come to a close and temperatures start to drop, the city's terraces, courtyards and rooftop gardens become increasingly appealing options for enjoying a meal or drink while being shielded from the sun.

This can be in the form of a covered balcony, shade provided by leafy trees, or tables that are protected by parasols. While this is by no means an exhaustive list, the following spots are worth keeping in mind when the weather becomes more favorable.
