【2024-2025】Your Guide to Enjoying the Yomiuriland Jewellumination

One of Yomiuriland's great advantages is its convenient location—just 30 minutes by train from Shinjuku.
The park is accessible via both the Keio and Odakyu lines. Here’s a detailed guide for reaching Yomiuriland using each line.

The "60th Dual Grand Object" showcases two stunning Ferris wheels: the newly built "Sky-Go-LAND," commemorating Yomiuriland's 60th anniversary, and the iconic "Giant Ferris Wheel," beloved since 1980.
The "Sky-Go-LAND" Ferris wheel represents 14 jewel-tone illumination colors introduced each year since Jewellumination’s inception.
Meanwhile, the "Giant Ferris Wheel" continues the "LIGHT is LOVE" theme from last year.
Its upper half radiates a regal gold symbolizing elegance and abundance, while the lower half glows a gentle pink, evoking feelings of kindness and romance. Together, they express profound love and compassion.
This is a one-of-a-kind scene in Japan, where two Ferris wheels operate side by side. Don't miss this breathtaking sight, available only until January 13, 2025.

The "Celebration Promenade" is a 180-meter-long tree-lined path illuminated with gentle, pastel-colored lights and uplighting.
This enchanting walkway exudes a warm and serene atmosphere, enveloping visitors in a sense of happiness. Stroll hand in hand with someone special, enjoying the soft glow of the lights as you reflect on your shared journey and dream about the path you'll walk together in the future. It's a perfect opportunity to create unforgettable memories filled with love and connection.

The "Crystal Passage" is a 140-meter-long tunnel of light and a classic highlight of Jewellumination.
For the first time in three years, its design has been completely refreshed, featuring colorful illuminations inspired by the crystalline beauty of gemstones. Take a leisurely walk through this dazzling and vibrant space, soaking in the enchanting atmosphere.
It’s also a popular photo spot, so be sure to capture memorable moments with your loved ones amidst the radiant lights.

The "Giant Sky River," a massive water slide standing 24.5 meters tall with a 386-meter-long course, transforms during the Jewellumination season into a brilliantly illuminated tower.
Adorned with warm, festive colors inspired by Yomiuriland's 60th anniversary celebrations, the "Jewelry Tower & Jewelry Spiral" creates a space radiating love and joy.
This glowing centerpiece is a must-see, offering a magical atmosphere that perfectly embodies the event’s celebratory spirit.

The "60th Celebration" features 60 candle-shaped illumination objects, whose soft glow is beautifully reflected on the water's surface. This dazzling display celebrates Yomiuriland's 60th anniversary creating a joyful and festive atmosphere.

As you stroll along the serene, celebratory waters of the "60th Celebration," you'll arrive at the "Lovely Sanctuary."
Located in the athletic area of Pool WAI, this space is adorned with jewel colors introduced in past Jewellumination events, symbolizing the coexistence of diverse personalities and forms of love with vibrant strength.

Prepare to be amazed by 238 fountains, a massive 15-meter water screen in the shape of a giant ring, and an exhilarating display of lasers and flames.
This breathtaking show is a perennial favorite, making it a must-see during your visit.

Celebrate Yomiuriland’s 60th anniversary with the "Jewel Festival," a fountain show combining powerful displays of water and light at the Wave Pool and the grand fountain. This festive spectacle is not to be missed.

This dynamic stage show features dancers performing synchronized routines to music and lights.
With masterful use of shadows created by light, the performance is both unique and mesmerizing. Limited to just two shows a day, it’s a rare and special experience you won’t want to miss.

In addition to the "Sky-Go-LAND" Ferris wheel mentioned earlier, there are plenty of attractions where you can take in the illuminations while having fun.
On the "Merry-Go-Land Dog," you can relax and gently sway as you admire the flowing lights around you.
For a slightly more thrilling experience, the gentle roller coaster "Wandit" offers a sensation of diving right into the sparkling illuminations.
Other attractions, like the next-generation go-karts "EV Grand Prix" or the "Milky Way" ride, also allow you to immerse yourself in the illuminated wonderland.

Yomiuriland is well-equipped with various dining options, many of which let you enjoy delicious meals while admiring the illuminations.
One of the top recommendations is the "Jewelry Box Restaurant Goodday," where the seats are next to a full glass wall, offering warm indoor dining with stunning views of the glowing lights outside.
At the terrace seats of "Starbucks Coffee Yomiuriland Goodjoba!! Store," you can sip on a warm coffee while basking in the enchanting illuminations.
For couples, the terrace seating at "La Piscine" is perfect.
Here, you can indulge in gourmet cuisine while enjoying the fountain show in the background.

Did you know that Yomiuriland is also one of Tokyo's premier cherry blossom viewing spots?
From mid-March to early April, around 1,000 cherry trees bloom magnificently throughout the park.
Because Jewellumination runs until the cherry blossom season, you can enjoy the unique collaboration of illuminated lights and nighttime blossoms—a rare and magical combination.
With a completely different atmosphere from winter, spring offers yet another reason to visit.
