Tips & Advice

  • The lights are scheduled for 5–11 p.m., except on November 13, and the hours may change depending on conditions.
  • Dress warmly for an evening outdoors, since the illuminations are displayed in open station plazas.
  • Allow time to walk between the north and south plazas if you want to view both areas.
  • Treat previous-year photos as a guide only, since display placement and images may change during coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can kids make something for the display?

Yes. Pieces made at the Makuhari Illumi workshop are collected by the organizers and hung in the illumination. They can't be taken home.

What's the theme this year?

The theme is "people connected by the city's lights," a play on the Japanese words for circle and harmony.
