Illumination Spectacle at Ashikaga Flower Park

Experience a mesmerizing evening of lights at Ashikaga Flower Park, recognized as Japan’s top illumination display. Stroll through enchanting gardens filled with thousands of twinkling lights, breathtaking wisteria light tunnels, and captivating themed sets. Conveniently located near Tokyo, reach the park by taking the Tohoku Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Oyama Station (a 42-minute journey costing ¥3860) and then the JR Ryomo Line from Oyama Station to Tomita Station (a 13-minute journey costing ¥580). The park is just a 13-minute walk from the station. Take advantage of the JR pass for a hassle-free journey. Admission to the park is ¥800, and food stalls serving hot soup, fried chicken, ice cream, beef stew, and crepes are available, ranging from ¥200 to ¥500. Enjoy hot street food while admiring the illumination in the cool evening air. Although small in size, the park can be easily explored in an hour, and it’s best to visit during the week to avoid weekend crowds. You won’t be disappointed by the incredible light displays that cannot be fully captured by the camera. Marvel at the intricate lights shaped like flowers (roses that change color and lotuses reflecting their light on water) and the stunning arrangement of lights with real flowers. Don’t miss out on the interactive displays, including one that sends a light flow toward Earth and blooms a leaf on top. Leave with unforgettable memories and stunning photos and videos to share.
