This annual winter illumination event is held at Sanuki Manno National Government Park. Running for about 40 days from late November to mid-January, the entire park is decorated with lights. The 21st edition, to be held in 2026, will feature the theme “Light of Hope Connecting to the Future,” with a grand illumination covering approximately 32,000 square meters using 650,000 LED bulbs and spotlights.
Highlights include a full enchantment at every turn, from the towering champagne glass sculpture and illuminated Shoryu Falls to a symbolic Christmas tree, and a sparkling tunnel of light.
The illuminations bring a moment of magic after dark that redefines that park as you know it by day. As an added bonus, there are even art exhibits, workshops, and a Christmas mini-market and more to keep this event as one of the most praised highlights of the season. Set your sights on a stroll through a sea of lights and waltz into a world of dreams.
