Meguro River Winter Illuminations

5:00pm – 10:00pm
Free

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.

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.

Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
