Welcome to 'Time IN Tokyo' on this vibrant Friday, September 20, 2024. As we step into the autumn season, Tokyo is buzzing with a mix of summer's last breath and the anticipation of cooler days ahead. Today, the city is experiencing a unique weather pattern, with reports of storms and even 6-inch hail in some areas like Hachioji, so be sure to check the forecast before you head out.

Let's dive into some of the exciting events happening around Tokyo today. For music enthusiasts, the Blue Note Jazz Festival is a must-attend, taking place at the Ariake Arena from September 21-22, but if you're looking for something today, you might want to keep an eye out for any last-minute live music gigs around the city. However, if you're planning ahead, Iron Maiden's extra date on September 29 at Pia Arena MM is a heavy metal fan's dream come true.

For those interested in cultural experiences, the Tokyo International Comedy Festival is ongoing until September 22 at the Tokyo Comedy Bar, offering a unique blend of Western-style stand-up comedy. If you're looking for something more family-friendly, the "Sea of Clouds Splash" at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo is still a great way to enjoy the summer atmosphere, even though it's nearing its end.

In local news, today marks the public opening of Kichii Sushi & Spirits in Boise, but if you're in Tokyo, you might be more interested in the ongoing Ultra Japan 2024, which took place from September 14th to 15th at Odaiba ULTRA Park, though it's now concluded.

For must-do activities today, consider visiting the stunning Japanese garden at Hotel Chinzanso for the "Sea of Clouds Splash," or head to the Ariake Arena to catch the Blue Note Jazz Festival if you can secure last-minute tickets. For a hidden gem, explore the browsable book space and record shop at the Sunset the Marina event, even though the main event was on September 7.

Here’s a local tip: When navigating Tokyo, use the Suica or Pasmo cards for seamless travel on public transit. These cards can also be used at many vending machines and convenience stores, making your life much easier.

As we wrap up today’s highlights, keep an eye out for tomorrow’s events. The Tokyo International Comedy Festival continues, and if you're a fan of jazz, the Blue Note Jazz Festival is just around the corner. Tune in tomorrow for more updates and insider tips on how to make the most of your time in this incredible city. Until then, enjoy the unique blend of summer and autumn in Tokyo
