The "AONODOKUTSU SHIBUYA Illumination" in Shibuya, a romantic blue light illumination extending about 800 meters from Shibuya's Park Street to the Zelkova trees of Yoyogi Park, creates a magical atmosphere for the Christmas season. Starting in Nakameguro in 2014 and moving to Shibuya in 2016, excluding the years 2015, 2020, and 2021 when the event was not held, it has been a popular event attracting over 10 million visitors in total.

The event's name is inspired by the famous tourist spot in Capri, Italy, known for its sea cave where the water appears to glow blue. The approximately 770,000 blue lights create a space as enchanting as the actual cave. Particularly breathtaking is the Yoyogi Park Zelkova row, where each of the roughly 60 trees is adorned with 7,000 bulbs.

This year, for the first time, a Christmas market is held at the Yoyogi Park Zelkova tree venue. About 20 stores offering gourmet food and goods allow visitors to immerse themselves in the Christmas spirit even before sunset, earlier than when the lights turn on.

    當藍色的光芒反射在上面就好像一條藍色的河流, 隨著人群一起走就有如宣傳上所說的'走在銀河的錯覺,的確是,感覺超神祕。

    兩旁路樹上的藍色燈光不僅是很美的裝飾,邊走路邊window shopping,好好感受人潮的熱鬧,真的好有聖誕節的氣氛心情好愉悅~
