TOKYO LIGHTOPIA 2008 illuminates the heart of the capital with a uniquely brilliant sparkle and glow. Inspired by the concept of “Earth, Environment, Peace,” TOKYO LIGHTOPIA creates a varied world of visually pleasing, environmentally friendly light.
Lightopia or festival of lights is celebrated in Tokyo during the Christmas season. Extending from 20th December to 31st December, this ten-day festival is held in the Kokyo Gaien (Imperial Palace garden), and Marunouchi district of Tokyo.
Event Lightopia is a magnificent visual extravaganza. The illuminated Wadakura Bridge, the decorated Wadakura Fountain Park, and the light and flower display on the Naka-Dori and Gyoko-Dori Avenues are a visual spectacle. Dedicated to environment protection, and global peace, the Kurahashi Wada is lined with decorative lights. About 170,000 illuminated pots are used to create a ‘Flower Fantasia’. Lightopia, is a merry making festival that highlights Christmas in Tokyo, and ushers in the New Year with fanfare and fancy display of colorful lights.
Tokyo Imperial Palace (皇居, kōkyo) is the imperial main residence of the Emperor of Japan. It is a large park-like area located in Chiyoda, Tokyo close to Tokyo Station and contains various buildings such as the main palace and the private residences of the imperial family. The total area including the gardens is 3.41 square kilometers.
