Shinjuku Central (Chuo) Park lights up in winter for a family-friendly illumination display that’s worth a look if you happen to be in the area. Also check out, Nishi-Shinjuku Illumination Market nearby, which includes food trucks.
What happens?
Every evening for around a month, Shinjuku Central Park is lit up with thousands of LED lights, glowing beasties, and other types of installations. These illuminations are a lot more low-key than other parts of Tokyo but are perfect for kids — who will love trying to spot the glowing dogs, cats, bunnies, and other creatures in the bushes.
