💡 From the Galaxy to Mario—Marunouchi Christmas 2019 Archives and the 2025 Light Festival

Winter in Marunouchi still vividly evokes the galactic fantasy world of 2019's "STAR WARS Marunouchi Bright Christmas 2019 – Precious for you –." RISE CRYSTAL, where light and shadow intersect, shows different expressions during the day and at night, creating a memorable display that illuminates the "light side" and "dark side" in each scene. Exhibits bringing the world of Star Wars closer to home, such as character decorations at Shin-Marunouchi Building and HARMONY OF LIGHTS at Oazo, have spread throughout the city.

And in 2025, Marunouchi will combine traditional illuminations with playful experiences. The 286 street trees along the 1.2 km stretch of Marunouchi Nakadori Street will be warmly illuminated with environmentally friendly champagne gold LEDs, marking the 23rd year of this winter tradition. Marunouchi Street Park's Christmas market and skating rink will stimulate visitors' senses and create an exciting experience.

A highlight of the event is "MARUNOUCHI BRIGHT HOLIDAY." Approximately 13 meters high, the Super Mario Power-Up illuminations will appear in the Maru Building, illuminating the city with a nightly lighting show. Dotted with photo spots featuring Princess Peach and Yoshi, as well as stamp rallies and limited edition merchandise, this is an event that will captivate people of all ages.

Marunouchi is a place where the galactic magic of 2019 and the fun of Mario in 2025 resonate. Why not weave a special story with your loved ones in a city bathed in light?
