EVENINGS AT YUME: Fuji Musume

Join Yume Gardens in paying homage to this classic by enjoying the dancing of Suzu Igarashi. She will perform twice each evening so that you may experience the transformation of the Gardens at night alongside the beauty and melody of dance and music. 

Additionally we will have delicious morsels from Takoyaki Food Truck to sate both your artistic and culinary appetites.

Carolyn’s note: Shakuhachi player Paul Amiel says he will be performing between sets on both nights, which will make the evenings even more magical.
