Princess Kaguya Light-Up

6:00pm – 10:00pm
Free

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.
