An amusement park of light you can casually enjoy

Arakawa Amusement Park Illumination

Arakawa Amusement Park’s illumination displays gradually change with the season, such as Christmas in December and New Year in January. Illuminations are lit on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, national holidays, the day before a public holiday, winter vacation period, and other times when the park is open at night. The Arakawa Kirakira Parade is also held irregularly.
