Tokyo German Village in Sodegaura, Chiba Prefecture, hosts its annual winter illumination event. This season, marking the park’s 25th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of American independence, the theme is 'Why USA!? Ultra Smile! German Village Goes America.' The event features light displays inspired by American culture, including music, film, and street life. The spacious grounds, about 19 times the size of Tokyo Dome, are modeled after the German countryside, and visitors can drive between different areas. The illuminations run from sunset until closing at 8 PM. The Lake Area will also host the Tokyo Lantern Festival, showcasing Chinese lanterns crafted by artisans and street stalls serving Chinese cuisine.
