It's not just the December issue Yornoyo! Illumination event is being held
In the season when the cold weather spreads every day, illuminations that color the winter night sky have begun in various places in Yokohama. The December issue of Yokohama Public Relations featured “Yornoyo”. In this public information Yokohama Plus, we will introduce illumination events that are being held in the surrounding area that could not be posted on paper. How about going out this winter?

One of the largest illuminations in the city, which spans 1.5 km, "Yokohamamilight-a town of light that illuminates Mirai-"
Yokohama Milite offers one of the largest illuminations in the city, ranging from the east exit of Yokohama Station to Sakura Dori in the Minato Mirai area.
On this day, about 500,000 blue and purple LED lights are applied to the trees along the long line, and a fantastic sight colors the city, many people, such as those returning from work and students, took pictures. I was enjoying it while doing things.
There will also be a street piano in Grand Mall Park where everyone can enjoy music freely. In a space surrounded by many trees and light, the sound of the piano will further enhance the beauty of the illuminations (street piano: December 1-December 25 / 16: 00-21: 00).

Experience the Christmas-like streets in Europe and the United States "Yokohama Motomachi Illumination 2022"
Christmas illuminations are available in Motomachi until December 25th. At the entrance of the street, you will be greeted by glittering illuminated Phoenix arches that enhance excitement. And in front of Motomachi Plaza Shopping Center, a huge Christmas tree with a height of 8 meters. Many families and couples stop and look up will tell you that Christmas is approaching.

As you walk along the street and look up, you will see a crossroads of light on both sides. Combined with the Christmas decorations of the shop, it creates a more Christmas mood. In addition, there are also spots that are perfect for taking commemorative photos, such as bench shades wrapped in light when you sit down. Why don't you feel the atmosphere of Christmas in Europe and the United States in Motomachi, Yokohama, where illuminations and the cityscape combine?

The Spring Festival is the New Year of the lunar calendar (January 22, 2023), and in Greater China, the Spring Festival is celebrated grandly from the New Year of the New Year.
In addition to the illuminations of lanterns and other places held everywhere, there are large illuminations that match the atmosphere of Chinatown, such as the Hyakushoryu on the main street, the Zajin lantern of Kagacho Police, and the dragon/phoenix lantern of Yamashita-Cho Koen.
There are many red lanterns on the street.

The whole city was wrapped in a festive atmosphere to celebrate the New Year, and despite the fact that the New Year was not yet celebrated, I was able to feel as if I had reached the New Year. You can not only enjoy gourmet food, but also enjoy Chinatown with a different taste than usual.

This time, we covered three illuminations, but we were able to feel the unique fun of each. Even if the scenery is always familiar, it will show a completely different appearance depending on the season you visit, time, and the production being performed, and you may encounter new discoveries.
Now, in Yokohama, many illuminations are being held not only in Yornoyo, which was featured on paper, but also in other surrounding areas, so please enjoy it.
"Yornoyo" is also further enhanced!
The beauty of Yornoyo, which is the third year of this year, is also enhanced. It makes it gorgeous so that you can enjoy the night of Yokohama more. When you pass through PORTAL, which is installed in 12 places in the city, light and sound correspond in conjunction, and you can enjoy walking around the city while searching for PORTAL (about 5 km around 12 places). In early December, we will hold a program of light and art that can only be enjoyed at night.
