ACN presents Yoyogi Forest of Lights

ACN presents Yoyogi Forest of Lights is an immersive winter illumination event taking place at Yoyogi Park in Tokyo. Inspired by the winter forests of Europe, the event invites visitors to walk through approximately 1.8 km of illuminated woodland, surrounded by imaginative displays of light and sound.

Event Highlights

The walking route features 17 themed light zones, including Singing Tree, where the illumination changes with music; Floral Fantasia, a garden-inspired light installation; and Chestnut Agrow, where green laser lights transform the trees. Other installations combine colorful lighting, music and atmospheric effects to create different experiences throughout the forest.

A food and drink area will also feature food trucks and stalls offering warm dishes, sweets and beverages. The event is supported by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and forms part of the Yoyogi–Shibuya area highlights of ARTE TOKYO.
