What is TOKYO MEGA ILLUMINATION
TOKYO MEGA ILLUMINATION, the award-winning 1st place event in Walker+ “Best Illuminations to Visit in Japan 2020-2021” is the long-loved, winter season special illumination event adored by children and grown-ups alike. In celebration of its 4-year anniversary, this year’s event is pulling out all the stops with a larger-than-life laser show across the fountain at Twinkle Fountain and Aurora Borealis, a brand-new special area made in collaboration with creative art company NAKED, INC. rich with authentic, Japanese themes and so much more! As an homage to the event venue, Oi Racecourse, there’s also the widely popular HORSE EVENTS, available to enjoy again this year, every single day! Plus, at the newly opened ranch you may even see a miniature horse or pony?! Come on down and join in the fun!
2021-2022 Highlights
There is a full line up of events to see this season. At NAKED, INC. BIG BOOK, you can explore an immersive illumination of dazzling lights, projecting mapping and augmented reality displays. At the Twinkle Fountain and Aurora Borealis you’ll find A RAINBOW FOUNTAIN BATHED IN LIGHT, the AURORA FOREST and a GIANT TREE PLAYING WITH THE LIGHT, an unforgettable 15-minute show of epic proportion.
The Giant Tree Playing with the Light event now features a moving light display, that looks as if tendrils of light were coming alive across the tree branches. Afterwards, make your way out of the bamboo forest to find a rich and magical spectacular A Dazzling Waterfall comes into view.
