This light display is the first of its kind in Tokyo, a 100% energy-recycled winter light event. Centered around the Shinagawa Ward’s Gotanda Riverside Plaza, original sakura-pink LED lights decorate the cherry-lined pathways along the Meguro River, showcasing a "winter cherry blossom" scene through pastel-hued illumination. The electricity used is generated from recycled cooking oil collected from nearby residences and restaurants.
