Illumi-Night Banpaku Xmas Details

Illumi-Night Banpaku Xmas is known for the high-tech 3D mapping projections done onto the symbolic tower called Tower of the Sun. These projections are also called Beam Painting.

The show is about to start...

All that color made the Tower of the Sun really stand out

This one reminds me of an octopus

While this one reminds me of a carrot...

The illuminated streets have...

illuminated butterflies...

...and illuminated kissing dogs

The theme of this year's illumination is called Miracle. It is about fairies and the fantasy world they live in. This is then projected directly to the body of the uniquely shaped Tower of the Sun. Aside from this beautiful show, the streets of the park are decorated with thousands of colorful LED displays which is called Illumi-street.


The event starts at 5PM until 9PM. Visitors are allowed to enter the venue up until 8:30PM only. If you're planning to attend this Illumination event you have to pay the entrance fee of 250 yen for adults and 70 yen for kids.
