Kyochika's take

Before you even reach Yomiuriland's Jewellumination, lights greet you on the station platform.

About 40,000 bulbs, with decorations supervised by a lighting designer, line the platforms in both directions.

It runs until April 4, the same as Jewellumination, so waiting for the train both ways seems fun too.

About this event

Around 40,000 LED lights transform the fences along both station platforms into a sparkling display. Now in its 12th edition, this collaboration between Yomiuriland and Keio Corporation is supervised by lighting designer Motoko Ishii, whose work includes Tokyo Tower's illumination. The 2026 motif is 'Energy,' echoing Yomiuriland's Growing Light theme through lighting effects and spatial design inspired by the vitality of growing plants. Selected limited express trains will also make special stops during the season.

Who is Motoko Ishii, the designer behind the station lights?

Born in Tokyo in 1938, Motoko Ishii is a pioneering lighting designer. After graduating from Tokyo University of the Arts, she studied lighting design in Finland and Germany before establishing her own studio in 1968. Her work has helped shape the nighttime character of cities in Japan and abroad.

Her landmark projects include the illumination of Tokyo Tower in 1989, Rainbow Bridge in 1993 and Tokyo Gate Bridge in 2012. She was recognized as a Person of Cultural Merit in 2019. Many of the glowing landmarks that define Tokyo after dark bear her creative influence.

Now her approach to light extends beyond bridges and towers into an everyday railway station. Look at how approximately 40,000 LEDs transform a familiar platform into a different kind of urban landscape.
