■Christmas and New Year Illuminations at Kichijoji Station.
Kichijoji illuminations were celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
Their illuminations are very famous among local residents, but we think they aren't known to most travelers.
Design has been redesigned to commemorate the 25th anniversary of illumination project. With the theme of "Starlight" message, creating a landscape like stars.
They are also environmentally friendly, such as using eco-type LED.
