Experience the Cherry Blossom Power Generation Challenge!

Prepare for an exhilarating experience in Shibuya on February 22nd and 23rd, 2026! Looop Inc., driven by the vision of realizing an energy-free society, proudly presents the Sakura Saku Power Generation Challenge Park—a vibrant event filled with hands-on activities aimed at celebrating their 10th anniversary of the electricity retail service, Looop Denki.

This innovative event, held at the iconic Shibuya Sakura Stage, couples the thrill of cycling with the breathtaking beauty of illuminated cherry blossoms. Attendees will be able to take part in a unique challenge of using their pedaling power to illuminate a spectacular 4-meter cherry blossom light display. As participants cycle together, the illumination brightens, culminating in a magnificent full bloom—a dazzling homage to the spirit of hope and new beginnings.

Honoring the Past and Inspiring the Future

Looop’s story began in 2011 amid the devastating aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Founder Soichiro Nakamura volunteered in the reconstruction efforts, deploying solar panels to bring light to darkened areas. The heartfelt gratitude of the survivors sparked a mission that has since evolved into a commitment to empower communities through sustainable energy solutions.

With ten years of service now under their belt, Looop wants to connect with the people who have supported them along the way. The spring season—a time filled with anticipation and apprehension for students facing examinations and individuals embarking on new life journeys—serves as the perfect backdrop for this event. By transforming personal energy into collective joy, Looop hopes to inspire participants as they tackle new challenges.

The Main Attraction: The Cherry Blossom Illumination

At the heart of the event lies the main attraction, where participants will team up in groups of three to cycle on specially designated bikes. Each pedal stroke strengthens the illumination of the monumental cherry blossom, leading to a triumphant display of lights syncing with their collaborative energy. This experiential installation symbolizes the hope ignited by community effort, bringing together individuals preparing for their next great leap.

Sip on the Sunshine: Handmade Bicycle Juice

Beyond powering the stunning visuals, participants can also enjoy a refreshing and unique treat—the Bicycle-Mixed Juice. This delightful beverage showcases the best local flavors, combining rich milk sourced from Nakashibetsu, home of Looop’s solar farms, with juicy strawberries from Nasu in Tochigi Prefecture and blueberries cultivated under solar-sharing systems. Limited to just 150 cups each day, this exclusive drink will invigorate participants and serve as a tangible representation of Looop’s commitment to renewable energy.

Engaging and Empowering Experiences by Looop Staff

This event is not merely an engagement project; it is crafted by Looop employees who are passionate about imparting the significance of energy in our daily lives. With enthusiasm and dedication, staff members will support participants as they pedal, offer fun quizzes about electricity, and create a warm, inclusive atmosphere that stresses the importance of energy during daily practices.

The Sakura Saku Power Generation Challenge Park is not only a celebration of ten years of service but also an opportunity to foster community connections and understanding of the integral role that electricity plays in our lives.
