We are very excited to have a third PRETTY MARKET on Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of November 2016. …

  Summer in Tokyo is HUMID. Mushi mushi, mushi astui and atsui. Those are the only variations in weather from approximately July until early September. Here are some ideas to help you deal with the Summer here! …

Today is so pleasantly warm and the people of Komazawa are smiling! Almost every order here at Pretty Things has been an iced drink and there is good energy all around. I'm sure those who have the day off are lapping it up even more! Apparently the rest of the week, the weekend and next week is going to be just as pleasant so I've put together a few things you could do around town. In particular, I highly recommend you to see one exhibition which will end very soon! Firstly, the Kunisada X Kuni…

We are in the middle of Golden week here in Japan. The weather is quite warm and sunny but these strong gusts of wind are just horrible!

Good morning! It's Saturday and if you've ever been to the Komazawa area, especially around the park, you would be very aware that it is a jogger's paradise. These guys are everywhere!

Anyway, so just giving you an idea of what it's like in Komazawa on the weekends. Lots of fit people everywhere jogging arou…

This is my first entry and I am very excited to share a mix of news, events and recommendations mostly in association with all of the folks at TMS, including staff from Pretty Things, Bowery Kitchen, Lotus, So Tired, Henry Good Seven, Montoak, Irving Place and the newbie, San Tropez.
