★Highlights: Approximately 100 street lights
Last year's predecessor, "GINZA ART WALK," had streetlights lit in 32 locations, but this year the number has tripled to approximately 100, with almost every pillar* in the event area on Ginza Street and Harumi Street lit up. Along with the LED illuminations on the street trees, enjoy the streets of Ginza, which will become even more festive during the holiday season. This time, the event will run for 40 days, allowing you to enjoy the holiday season for longer.
*Due to technical issues, some pillars may not be installed.
★Features [Gorgeous design]
We welcome you with flower motifs that brightly decorate the streets of Ginza.
In addition, next to the flower-motif illuminations, flags of the seven luxury brands that are members of GILC will be displayed according to the period and area. Be sure to check out these flags, which you can only see on this occasion.
