TOKYO, Japan - illiNews -- From November 10, 2022 to February 15, 2023, Tobu Railway presents the "East TOKYO Festival of Light: Where Tradition Meets Innovation." In addition to the previous year's illumination at TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN, TOKYO mizumachi and SUMIDA RIVER WALK, Tobu Railway will newly illuminate Ushijima Shrine (see map), a well-known local shrine founded in 860 CE, with bamboo "Take-Akari' decorations and full-color floodlights.

In Taito and Sumida wards, the shitamachi or "downtown culture" of Tokyo is alive and thriving. At the same time, TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN incorporates traditional architectural techniques and cutting-edge technology. The waterfront space connecting these two areas is burgeoning with history, tradition, and nature that coexist as diverse cultures intersect and flourish. It is hoped that this illumination project will elevate the appeal of the East Tokyo region and convey its unique charm to the world.
This extensive illumination presentation is part of a project to promote the attractiveness of Tokyo implemented jointly by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Tokyo Convention and Visitors Bureau. It effectively utilizes the Tokyo brand icon "Tokyo Tokyo Old meets New." This emphasizes the essence of Tokyo, where traditions from the Edo period and cutting-edge contemporary culture merge. The project is a collaboration between The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the private sector.
Tobu Railroad will also expand "Take-Akari" into "Illuminate Together," to be held in the Nikko and Kinugawa regions of Tochigi Prefecture, about two hours and two-and-a-half hours north of Tokyo, respectively, along the Tobu Railway line. The goal is to enhance and improve the attractiveness of these areas through illumination.
