Nestled just outside the bustling heart of Tokyo, Yomiuri Land (よみうりランド) has been enchanting visitors for six decades. This year, it’s transforming into a sparkling gem for its 60th-anniversary celebration.

Starting now and dazzling us all the way through spring 2025, this year’s illumination promises to be more stunning than ever.

Scale of the Illumination

Imagine a magical tapestry of lights sprawling across this grand amusement park. The “Gemstone Color” Illumination isn’t just a sight to see; it’s a full-blown experience.

The park is decked out with millions of LED lights, each designed to mimic the glint and glitter of precious gemstones.

From emerald greens to sapphire blues, the colors dance in the night, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that’s hard to describe but impossible to forget.

Best Views from the Ferris Wheel

For the ultimate viewing experience, hop on the Ferris wheel. As you ascend, you’ll get a panoramic view of the entire park, bathed in the radiant glow of gemstone-inspired lights.

It’s a breathtaking sight, perfect for snapping photos that’ll make all your friends jealous.

What’s Included in the Experience

Every corner of Yomiuri Land is kissed by the luminescence of this year’s theme.

Highlights include the “Jewelry Road,” a pathway flanked by arches of lights, and the “Crystal Garden,” where light installations create a fantastical floral paradise.

And don’t miss the “Diamond Lagoon,” where the reflections on the water add another layer of sparkle.
