Hello everyone! We are team MARUMARU from Sato seminar in Meiji University.　Our team consists of four female junior students♪

The theme is Summer in Nakano, and we try to keep our girl’s perspective :D　There are 3 important things you need to know for having fun in Nakano.

They are, 1) delicious seasonal foods, 2) cool and nice places to be around, and 3) exciting events that you can enjoy!!!

And now, it is about time for us to introduce our plan, “Special Summer in Nakano”.

First, we would like to introduce a Hawaiian Cafe, that gives a perfect mood for summer.

“Pipeline”, the Hawaiian cafe, is on Nakano street and just 8 minutes away from JR Nakano station.

Pipeline opened very recently, so it is so clean and comfortable!

The picture shows the entrance, and Pipeline consists of 4 floors in whole.

Pipeline offers Free Wi-Fi for the whole time. The manager(副店長) studied in Hawaii, so he speaks English.

Do not hesitate for visiting! This cafe is surely a good place for foreigners and students.

We took a picture with the manager(副店長).

Each floor has its own unique interior, and you would love it!

There is different theme for each floor. 

The theme of the 2nd floor is “Foreign Trip”, so there are big and comfortable sofa unlike Japanese cafe!

The 3rd floor’s theme is “Adventure”, and there are various goods and interior items about adventure.

The 4th floor is covered with modern items from traditional Japanese notions.

You can enjoy an atmosphere of calm and restfulness at any floor. 

The following picture is the menu of the Pipeline.

On our visit, we ordered 4 menu!

*Poki Bowl with Fresh Salad ¥1,200

*BETTEI Hot Cheese Sandwich & Fried Potato or Fresh Salad ¥1,000

*Strawberry Smoothie ¥700

*BETTEI Soft Ice Cream ¥600

Poki Bowl is the recommendation from the manager!

You can enjoy oriental taste for summer!

Hot Sandwich is really crispy, and has great harmony with cheddar sauce.

Strawberry Smoothie is fresh, and it is made out of the strawberries freshly delivered from Chiba.

BETTEI Soft Ice Cream is extremely creamy, and inside it, there is also the fresh strawberries.

All the foods and drinks here are freshly and deliciously made with sincere.

Our second recommendation is Cool and Nice Places in Nakano, “Heiwanomori Park”!

Heiwanomori Park is 15 minutes away from JR Nakano station, and 10 minutes away from Pipeline.　This park brings your soul back to the nature, and makes feel getting out of the city!

This hydrangea will be blooming at the time ☆ You can enjoy the Japanese style park after the mood of town.

We recommend 3 ways of “How to enjoy Heiwanomori Park”  !!!

1) Enjoy the Senkou-Hanabi (Sparkler)

2) Get relax on the grass (Some people do yoga here)

3) Running or walking

We don’t go to the park very often, but when we do, we have a lot of fun that it gets dark before we even know it!

It is very crowded around the subway station, and since it is summer, the weather is very hot. However, you can have a good time and refresh yourself without spending any money if you come to visit the Heiwanomori Park.

Our final plan is for those of you who want to enjoy the summer at its best!

We would like to introduce Nakano-champloo-Festival, a seasonal event opening in Tokyo, for people who want to experience exciting summer atmosphere (Summer = Festival). 

There are many festivals held at Nakano every summer. There are events designed for family, festivals with musical themes, parties that match seasonal events such as Christmas and Halloween.

Among many events, we particularly recommend you Nakano-champloo-Festival!  

The festival will be held at the square in front of Nakano ward office and JR Nakano subway station.

It will be held for 2days from 7/16(sat) to 7/17(sun).

For those of you who are interested in the real summer experience, come and join the Nakano-champloo-Festival!

So, what do you think about our plan for enjoying this summer in girls perspectives♪

THANK YOU!!!!
