Visit Report: Marunouchi Illumination

The approximately 1.2km stretch of Marunouchi Nakadori Street sparkles in champagne gold during the Marunouchi Illumination.

First launched in 1999, this winter spectacle has been delighting visitors for over 20 years.

The sight of the main street lined with zelkova trees and stone pavement, creating an exotic atmosphere, illuminated by approximately 1.2 million LEDs is simply breathtaking.

Running for about 100 days starting from late November each year, you can enjoy these beautiful scenes for an extended period, so be sure to visit when you're in the Tokyo Station area.
