The “Sagamiko Lake Illumination” takes place at the Sagamiko Resort, a comprehensive outdoor resort that includes an amusement park, barbecue area, and day-trip hot spring facilities. It is the largest lighting event in the Kanto region, covering an area of approximately 40,000 square meters. Lively and thematically rich lights shine with overwhelming scale in the forest at night, creating a fantastical world that can’t be experienced in the city. From central Tokyo, it only takes about one hour to reach this world woven by light and shadow.

At night, in addition to the light displays for visitors to enjoy, there are also fireworks performances. (Image source / さがみ湖リゾート)
