These illuminations at the Oi Racecourse – also known as Tokyo City Keiba – will be returning for the fifth year, with the venue bathed in colourful lights every evening. You can enjoy elaborate illuminations and projection mapping displays across two areas.
Upon entering the venue, you’ll find yourself in the ‘Twinkle’ area where you’ll walk through a long corridor lit up with appropriately twinkly blue lights that lead you to the main attractions. Aside from plentiful and vivid light projections on the ground, you’ll come across the ‘Aurora Forest’ with glowing trees that put on a six-minute show synchronising to music using light and shadows.
Enter the ‘Wa no Kirameki’ area, taking up the centre of the racecourse with a colourful water fountain where shows are synchronised to music, stunning aurora lights, an illuminated cherry blossom tunnel, and more. There’s also a large trellis of artificial wisteria illuminated with pink and golden lights, and an illumination recreating a typical Japanese rural landscape, complete with paddy fields and a stream.
What's more, with this event taking place at a racecourse, you can even pet and take photos with real horses.
