Experience the Magic of Winter at SHIBUYA SKY

As winter approaches, SHIBUYA SKY, perched atop the iconic Shibuya Scramble Square, invites visitors to step into a mesmerizing world of light and sound with its special winter event, 'Sparkling View'. This enchanting installation runs from November 6 to December 25, 2025, transforming the 46th-floor indoor observation corridor into a unique winter spectacle that epitomizes the beauty of the season.

A Dazzling Winter Landscape

The theme for this year’s installation is 'The Sparkling Winter Scenery Above Shibuya.' Visitors can enjoy a breathtaking view of shimmering cityscapes that can only be seen at SHIBUYA SKY. The indoor observation corridor, known as 'SKY GALLERY,' will be adorned with an array of sparkling mirror balloons of varying sizes. These balloons reflect the stunning 360-degree views of Tokyo, creating a visually dynamic experience that changes as visitors move through the space. The interplay of light gives the impression that the urban landscape itself is floating in this fantastical setting.

This year, attendees will also enjoy a significant upgrade to their visual and auditory experience. The newly developed all-directional lighting system, 'NEBULA', blankets the space with immersive light displays. Coupled with sculptural sound design by artist evala, visitors can expect a profound sensory journey. Together, these elements create a harmonious integration of visuals and sound, ensuring that 'Sparkling View' becomes a hallmark of winter at SHIBUYA SKY.

The Sky Stage Experience

The experience continues on the roof of SHIBUYA SKY at the 'SKY STAGE,' where an impressive light installation known as the 'Sparkling Light Tree' reaches towards the heavens. Starting from 7 PM during the event period, a special performance called 'Special Celebration' will take place every half hour, featuring a blend of light, sound, and soap bubbles. Building upon the success of last year’s event, the soap bubble display will elevate the ambiance further, as they dance gracefully in the night sky, reflecting the radiant city lights below.

With the crystal-clear winter sky as a backdrop, the visual sensory feast of floating bubbles and dramatic light effects culminates in a truly spectacular sight that captures the essence of urban winter nights.

The impressive 'Sparkling Balloon Corridor' on the 46th floor adds to the experience with its dynamic displays of mirrors that echo the changing winter scenes, whether the day is bright and clear or illuminated by the winter night’s lights. As visitors progress through the corridor, the patterns reflected will change, ensuring that each visit brings a new experience.

A new addition this year is the 'Sparkling Balloon Tree', located at the entrance of the corridor, which enhances the festive spirit. Visitors can take photos with the stunning tree and the nighttime scenery, creating lasting memories of their time in Shibuya.

All-round Lighting with NEBULA

The 'NEBULA' lighting system, a unique creation featuring 80 pixel-controlled full-color LEDs, enhances the installation's visual dynamics. This innovative technology allows for an array of patterns to be exhibited throughout the space, ensuring that the winter atmosphere is fully brought to life.

Moreover, evala’s artistic sound design further immerses visitors in a sensory experience, transforming their visit from simply seeing into an engaging feeling. The performance utilizes a spatial sound system, providing a distinct auditory experience unique to SHIBUYA SKY. Evala's works have received acclaim in various venues and installations, enhancing the event with its innovative approach to sound.

Rooftop Stargazing Event

In addition to the sparkling winter wonders, visitors can join the 'Rooftop Stargazing' event, which allows guests to witness celestial phenomena from the urban heights of SHIBUYA SKY — the prime spot for astronomical views in Shibuya. On November 5, the special event 'SHIBUYA SUPER MOON RISE' is set to offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the rise of the supermoon in the city skyline. This event will include dual access to a local planetarium exhibit and telescope observations at SHIBUYA SKY.
