Japanese Christmas and winter light-up spots are always full of fresh ideas. In 2016, Tobu World Square (Tobu W?rudo Sukuwea), featuring world-famous architectural landmarks including 45 World Heritage sites, offers an experience akin to traveling around the world. The winter illuminations are particularly special — not only can you see the Eiffel Tower and Tokyo Skytree in one glance, but Taipei 101 is also on display simultaneously. Moreover, it collaborates with the 2017 Taiwan Lantern Festival, presenting a romantic and dazzling night scene themed around globally renowned buildings.

Additionally, you can see 102 attractions from 21 countries, including the Arc de Triomphe and Milan Cathedral, all brought to life by 1.4 million LED bulbs, creating an unrivaled night view that’s well worth visiting. Taiwanese travelers will be pleasantly surprised to find six scenes from the Journey to the West series featured at the 2017 Taiwan Lantern Festival (held in Yunlin) within the park, showcasing the cultural exchange in tourism between Taiwan and Japan.

Tobu World Square is located in the Kinugawa Onsen area, a famous Japanese tourist destination. Visiting in winter allows you to enjoy the hot springs while taking in the beautiful Christmas night illuminations. The winter light-up event runs from November 5 to early March 2017 (only on Saturdays and Sundays from March 11 to March 26). It’s a great choice for a day trip near Tokyo.
