This new event combines all the best aspects of Christmas — illuminations and markets. Stretching over 200 meters, the champagne gold LED lights will sparkle, creating an unforgettable nighttime display.
What to expect
Expect illuminations, market stalls, food trucks, and a fun digital stamp rally. It’s the perfect place to stop by for an hour or two to try traditional foods and perhaps pick up any last-minute presents.
There will also be a special New Year’s Eve countdown event, with details to be announced soon. Please note that on December 31, only the food trucks (not the market stalls) will be open from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.
How to get to Nishi-Shinjuku Illumination Market
The market is about a 10-minute walk from the West Exit of JR Shinjuku Station. Alternatively, you can take the Marunouchi Line to Nishi-Shinjuku Station and walk 10 minutes from there. You can also reach it by taking the Oedo Line to Tochomae Station.
For those coming by bus, take the Toei or Keio Bus from the West Exit of Shinjuku and get off at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government First Main Building.
