Yoyogi Park Events Square

Kick off the holiday season – Filipino-style, and dive into the vibrant food and culture of the Philippines at Japan’s biggest Filipino event. This annual festival at Yoyogi Park's events square consistently attracts a jovial crowd with its fun-filled programme, which includes a vibrant mix of music and dance performances (hosted in both English and Tagalog). Expect powerful stage performances by renowned Filipina singer Sheryn Regis, along with dance performances by actor Zeus Collins and much more. There will also be a variety of stalls offering the country’s iconic dishes and drinks such as adobo and San Miguel beer. 

Dubbed Ao no Dokutsu, meaning blue cavern, this breathtaking illumination was a huge hit when it made its debut along the Meguro River back in 2014. The now annual event made a comeback in Shibuya in 2016, where it will again bathe the tree-lined walkway leading to Yoyogi Park in a fantastical blue glow this holiday season until Christmas Day. Stretched out for 900 metres along Koen-dori and Yoyogi Park Events Square, the fantastical display is made up of around 500,000 blue LEDs. The lights are also reflected off the ground to create an immersive experience. At the end of the tunnel, you’ll find a gigantic inflatable snowman illuminated with festive projection mapping this year, inspired by ‘Christmas and Shibuya’. The illuminations take place daily between 5pm and 10pm.
