Tokyo Mega Illumi: Your Complete Guide for Families, Friends, and Couples

If you’re going anyway, you’ll want to enjoy the travel time, too! For that, Tokyo Monorail is recommended.
Unlike regular trains, it runs at an elevated height, letting you enjoy sweeping city views from the windows.

The following prices apply to date-specified advance tickets and same-day tickets.

Operating hours are, in principle, 4:30 pm to 9:00 pm, with last admission at 8:00 pm-plan enough time for your visit.

There are also ways to save-such as advance tickets and set tickets-so be sure to check the official website.

The Mega Illumi Show, held every 20 minutes, is a must-see!
Illuminations synchronized to music unfold across A RAINBOW FOUNTAIN BATHED IN LIGHT, GIANT TREE PLAYING WITH THE LIGHT, AURORA FOREST, and the Twinkle Light Show, moving from place to place.
When you arrive, make the Mega Illumi Show your first stop.

Only at Tokyo Mega Illumi can you enjoy illuminations together with horses!
At the Interaction Event, from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm, you can meet and take commemorative photos with miniature horses and ponies dressed in illuminated outfits or seasonal costumes.
From 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm, watch miniature horses and ponies spend time freely in the “Pasture” up close.
On weekends and public holidays, the “Lead Horse and Fountain Show” features lead horses performing to music against a fantastical fountain backdrop-don’t miss it!
If you’re with children of elementary-school age or younger, try the pony riding experience; the pony carriage is also great fun for the whole family.
Pony rides are available only on weekends and public holidays.
Advance reservations are required, and an additional fee applies. If you're interested, be sure to book early through the official website.

Enjoy a wealth of scenes such as the “EDO CHERRY BLOSSOM TUNNEL,” a 100-meter tunnel of cherry-petal lights with lovely music; “Original Japanese Landscape,” expressing scenery close to the Japanese heart; and the “WISTERIA PERGOLA,” where purple art flowers cascade like a waterfall.

“What kind of display will we see next?” You can’t help but feel thrilled and excited!

In addition to illuminations and horse events, Tokyo Mega Illumi offers 10 eateries, so you can fully enjoy the food, too!
Stroll through the dazzling illuminations while enjoying picture-perfect "Horseshoe Churros" and "Pomme Pin Potatoes," a Belgian specialty known for their adorable, bite-sized shape...

Or satisfy your appetite with a hearty "Deluxe Meat Platter" loaded with Japanese Wagyu beef, roast pork, and sausages...

There's a wide variety of delicious food to enjoy for every occasion!
Starting this season, two new restaurants, "Sunaemon Sakaba by STAR LIGHT" and "Nantsuttei," will open on the first floor of G-FRONT.
Sunaemon Sakaba's signature dishes are "Curry Udon" and "Ikabara Tendon" (tempura rice bowl), both featuring the rich flavor of Japanese dashi broth. The Curry Udon, in particular, combines carefully prepared dashi broth with the natural sweetness of onions, creating a delicious flavor that appeals to people of all ages.

Nantsuttei's signature dish, "Black Tonkotsu Ramen with Charred Garlic," is sure to leave you craving more after just one taste. Its jet-black, secret-recipe "Black Mayu Oil" brings together the flavors of the rich tonkotsu broth, noodles, and chashu pork in perfect harmony.
