About This Event / イベントについて

This page used to name the TMG plaza, Southern Terrace, and Opera City as one glow. That hid the only 2026–27 street that already has a date. Kuyakusho-dori is on from 30 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. The 3A NPO and the ward agree on those days. Lights until 03:00.

Southern Terrace / Minami Lumi is the tourist south-exit walk. Last season was 12 November 2025 to 15 February 2026. GO TOKYO closed that file in February. The next season is not up. When it returns it usually dies at midnight, not at 03:00.

TMG observatories stay a free night view. They are not a light festival. South deck to 22:00. Closures sit on the Finance Bureau page and on @tocho_tenbou. Shinjuku Neon Walk and Happy New Year Tokyo at Citizens Plaza were 2025–26 Tokyo Nighttime Project work. The 2026–27 edition was not announced by mid-October.

If you can only walk one street before December, walk Kabukicho. The south exit can wait until someone posts a 2026–27 page.

TMG south deck is the night one. North and south swap on a weekday roster.

夜は都庁の南展望室。南北は週で入れ替わる。

The plaza countdown needs a draw when it exists. It is not a street you wander into.

都民広場のカウントダウンは抽選。通りではない。
