Held at Sagamiko Resort Pleasure Forest in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, “SAGAMIKO ILLUMILLION (さがみ湖イルミリオン) ” is an annually winter illumination event that started in 2008. With 6 million colourful LED lights SAGAMIKO ILLUMINATION is considered one of Kanto Region’s three largest winter illuminations along with Ashikaga Flower Park and Enoshima Jewel of Shonan and one of the biggest winter illuminations in Japan.
After the success of the Sailor Moon collaboration in 2021, in winter 2022-2023 SAGAMIKO ILLUMILLION is celebrating its 14th anniversary collaborating with Sumikko Gurashi, the popular characters created by the Japanese company San-X.
The Sumikko Gurashi-themed illumination is inspired in the characters stories. For example the Tapioka Park area is a recreation of the amusement park Tapioka Park that Sumikko and her friends visited filled with colorful lights and a fun atmosphere where visitors can enjoy riding the merry-go-round and the Ferris wheel. And in the Lizard’s Dream area, Lizard and Lizard’s Mother are recreated using large balloons that float 6 meters above the water, creating a fantastic space.
Moreover, there are plenty unique photo spots such as the Sumikko snow globe illumination and a huge illuminated art wall with original illustrations!
