Marunouchi Illumination 2022

The "Marunouchi Illumination" is a wintertime tradition in the Marunouchi area that has been held for more than 20 years since its first event. The event centers on Marunouchi Nakadori Avenue, the main street of the Marunouchi area, which is lined with popular brand-name stores along its 1.2-km stretch. Approximately 1.2 million LED bulbs will be attached to 340 street trees in the Marunouchi area, from the Tokyo Kotsu Kaikan in front of Yurakucho Station to Otemachi Naka-Dori Avenue, and all of them will light up simultaneously.

During the festival, the street and the entire town will be illuminated in a shimmering champagne-gold color, creating a truly magical atmosphere. This event is also environmentally friendly, and all the illuminations on Marunouchi Naka-Dori Avenue are powered by clean electricity generated from natural energy sources such as solar and wind power.

From 2021, the illumination will also illuminate the "TOKYO TORCH Park," a large plaza in front of the new landmark "Tokiwabashi Tower" in front of the Nihonbashi exit of Tokyo Station. Also, Christmas decorations and trees will be set up to create a particularly glamorous atmosphere. In addition to the illumination of the Marunouchi area, during the Christmas season through Sunday, December 25, "Marunouchi Bright Christmas 2022-YUMING 50th BANZAI!~" is held in the Marunouchi area.
