Kiba Park Welcomes Spring with Spectacular Floral and Light Display

As the cherry blossoms begin to bloom in Tokyo, Kiba Park transforms into a breathtaking spectacle of flowers and lights, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a vibrant early spring atmosphere. From February 27 to March 15, 2026, the illumination event named "The Wind and Light Path - A Spring Blossom Radiance" showcases an array of dazzling floral arrangements amidst stunning light displays, curated by Hibiya Kadan, a renowned floral and landscape design company.

A Celebration of Nature and Community

This event adopts an innovative approach by merging the historical essence of Kiba Park, a site known for its lumber industry, with contemporary artistic expressions. The centerpiece of this enchanting display is a 3.5-meter-tall luminaire symbolizing the old lanterns that once illuminated the waterways used for transporting timber. Surrounded by vibrant cherry blossoms and intricate floral sculptures, this installation encapsulates the historical ambiance of Kiba.

Moreover, the local community plays a significant role in this event. Children from nearby preschools participate in planting flowers, bringing a sense of shared ownership and community spirit to the park. The lovingly planted blooms add yet another layer of beauty to the spring landscape.

Captivating Day and Night Experiences

One of the remarkable aspects of this event is the contrasting experience it offers during the day and at night.
During daylight, the park shines under the sun, with sunlight reflecting off the fountain, while at night, the gentle glow of the luminaire and the illuminated flowers create a magical atmosphere. The carefully designed displays are intended not just to beautify Kiba Park but to transport visitors into a realm that feels like a journey through time.
