Tokyo Tower hosts City Light Fantasia from 1 November

Tokyo Tower hosts Tokyo Tower City Light Fantasia from 1 November 2026 in Tokyo, bringing a winter projection to the landmark's Main Deck. The programme continues until 14 February 2027, with a separate drama collaboration running through 29 December 2026.

City Light Fantasia runs through February 2027

The winter edition is a projection mapping show presented by TOKYO TOWER Co. and directed by NAKED INC. The official programme places it on the second floor of the Main Deck, where images appear across the north-facing windows against Tokyo's night view.

The main winter sequence follows a butterfly moving through the night sky as the city is transformed into an icy world. The operator describes the story as lasting about three minutes, with the projected glass also serving as the visual focus of the installation. The official winter programme gives the full period and venue.

From 1 November 2026 to 29 December 2026, the winter presentation alternates with a collaboration linked to a Japanese television drama. The special sequence connects objects associated with its central character before introducing whales created by illustrator ShiShi Yamazaki. Music by muque accompanies the film, according to the operator.

Tokyo Tower's Main Deck becomes the screen

The installation is tied directly to the observation level rather than a separate venue at the tower's base. That location places the projected glass beside the real Tokyo skyline, so the city view remains part of the setting while the images change across the windows.

The landmark is 333 metres tall, and the Main Deck is 150 metres above ground. Those confirmed dimensions explain the relationship between the event and the building: the projection is presented from an elevated viewing level, not from the surrounding plaza or a nearby park.

The winter programme also gives the tower a seasonal visual identity without changing its permanent structure. A traveller arriving for the installation will find projection art on the north side of the Main Deck, while the wider observation experience remains the tower's established attraction. The operator's landmark information confirms the building's 333-metre height and the Main Deck's position.
