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.
Schedule 2025
In December, 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
Challenge Sumo Wrestlers and Enjoy Lunch
Eat, train, and fight like a real Japanese sumo wrestler during this sumo demonstration and authentic 'Chanko Nabe' (hotpot) meal.
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.
