This is one of Tokyo’s glitziest illumination events, with many areas around Tokyo Dome City lit up. This year features illuminations produced by Shohei Osada from the Japanese comedy duo Chocolate Planet. The outdoor turf on the third floor of the Tokyo Dome Hotel will have illuminating spheres with faces on them, all looking at an elevated stage you can get up on. It’s meant to look like you’re performing in front of hundreds of people, gazing out over an expressive crowd of people.
At Meets Port Garden you’ll find a massive half moon installation with which you can have fun creating shadows by standing in front of it. Head over to Laqua Garden to see trees decked out in champagne gold lights and an unusual amount of washtubs hanging over you, making you feel like you’re on some crazy variety show. The Thunder Dolphin passage on the second floor of Laqua will be illuminated in iridescent light, featuring silhouettes of Japanese comedians you might recognise.
