See the famous cherry blossom view of Meguro River in winter — well, sort of.
What happens?
Meguro River will shine with nearly 400,000 pink-colored LEDs from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. every night. The lights will be powered by cooking oil waste from local homes and businesses.
On November 15, there will also be a upcyclicing spot where you can donate your used cooking oil and purchase a candle also made from the stuff. More details here.
Suggested Activity
Get Tickets To the Samurai Restaurant in Shinjuku (Up to 30% Off)
Experience one of the craziest, most colorful places in Tokyo — the all-new Samurai Restaurant, from the creators of the Robot Restaurant. Get your tickets and sit back for a wild show of lasers, lights, samurai, dancers and other uniquely Japanese weirdness.
How to get there
The illuminations will not take place at the usual cherry blossom spot in Naka-Meguro, but along the river bank between Gotanda and Ōsaki Station. It’s a 6-minute walk from either station.
