See the spectacular sight of clouds and thousands of bamboo lanterns at this one-of-a-kind night light-up event.
What to expect
Created using artifically generated mist, this night light display feels fantastical, blending tradition with technology. In addition to the mist, clouds, moons, flowers, and bamboo lanterns, visitors can enjoy immersive light art performances powered by projectors. Scented installations further enhance the experience, engaging the senses of smell. All of this beautiful digital art will have a backdrop that includes Tokyo Skytree.
Between March 17 and 19, visitors can enjoy a free short rickshaw ride around the illuminations which make for a great photo opportunity.
How to get there
The light-up event takes place on the rooftop of Ekimise Asakusa. It is directly connected to Asakusa Station on the Tobu Skytree Line. You can also get there by taking the Ginza Line to Asakusa Station, and then walking for a minute.
