Experience the Essence of Mindfulness - JW Summer Garden Party
Japan's First-Ever Garden Party Inspired by the JW Brand Philosophy
This exclusive event marks the debut of a garden party in Japan that embodies the JW brand's core concept of mindfulness.
The evening begins with a welcome reception in the serene JW Garden, bathed in the soft glow of twilight.
Guests will then transition to the elegant Ballroom "Yoshino," where a specially curated five-course dinner awaits—crafted by our Executive Chef using the finest seasonal ingredients from Nara.
The venue will be transformed into a tranquil forest-like setting, with lush greenery and sustainable natural décor extending from ceiling to table.
To complement the cuisine, our sommelier will present a selection of premium drinks.
A highlight of the evening will be a live tea session led by Junichi Uekubo of the renowned Uekubo Tea Garden in Tsukigase, Nara, featuring a matcha dessert made with their signature green tea.
As the night draws to a close, a live jazz quartet will provide a graceful finale to this mindful celebration.
Each guest will also receive an exclusive Yoshino cedar gift, engraved with the JW logo—a keepsake infused with the spirit of Nara's rich traditions.
Join us this summer for an unforgettable evening that awakens the senses and soothes the soul.
