Starting December 4 (Friday), the Meguro River will be illuminated with cherry blossom-colored LED lights in 'Meguro River Everyone's Illumination 2026.' Used cooking oil collected from local restaurants is upcycled into biodiesel fuel, achieving 100% local energy consumption. The combined illumination along both banks stretches approximately 2.2 kilometers, making it the largest scale inside the Yamanote Line area. About 410,000 cherry-colored LEDs shine with the cooperation of the community, creating a magical reflection on the river's surface. On the first day, an 'Everyone's Upcycle Spot' is set up where locals bring used cooking oil. This year, the event is part of the partner program of the international cultural arts festival ARTE TOKYO. As a complementary project, the participatory art 'Waves of Light' by Zero by Zero is featured, combining illumination with art to offer a new experience powered by electricity generated from biodiesel fuel made from recycled used cooking oil.
