A winter highlight in Ikebukuro’s Nishiguchi area, Toshima City, Tokyo, is the Metropolitan Street Illumination. Approximately 40,000 LED lights are installed on the trees lining both sides of Metropolitan Street extending from Ikebukuro Station's west exit. The aqua blue lights, combined with the lighting of the Global Ring in Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park, create a magical atmosphere that beautifully brightens the winter nights. This illumination event, now in its 11th year, runs from November through the end of January.
