The Shibuya Blue Cave Illumination, 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.

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 500,000 blue lights create a space as enchanting as the actual cave. The venue is a stunning sight, with 67 trees along Shibuya Koen-dori and 60 trees along the Keyaki Namiki in Yoyogi Park, each adorned with 5,000 sparkling bulbs.

    When the blue lights reflect above, it really looks like a river of blue. Walking along with the crowd, it truly feels like the 'walking in the Milky Way' experience they advertise. Super mysterious vibe.

    The blue lights on the trees are not just beautiful decorations—they make window shopping along the street so much fun! The crowds and festive vibe really put me in the Christmas spirit. I felt so happy!
