We went last time and it was honestly so much more vibrant than I expected. The massive dragon lantern floating over the main street is incredible, and following the 200-meter light promenade down toward Yamashita Park makes for such a gorgeous night walk. A quick heads-up if you're planning to go: since it's spread out across Chinatown, Ichiba-dori Bridge, and the Yamashita Park avenue, you aren't confined to a single spot, which helps with the crowds. Of course, the main street near Zenrinmon Gate gets very busy on weekends, so grabbing some street food and taking your time walking the smaller side streets like Shanghai Road is highly recommended. It is one of the most festive ways to spend a winter evening in Yokohama, and because it runs for several months, there's plenty of time to catch it. 👇 Illumination Details: 📅 November 1, 2026 to February 20, 2027 📍 Yokohama Chinatown (also Ichiba-dori Bridge & Yamashita Park-dori) 💴 Free to view 🕒 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM daily Save this for your visit and tag who you are going with! #yokohamachinatown #shunsetsutouka #yokohamaevents #japantravel #yokohamaillumination
