Toshima Ward Mejiro Garden Summer Night Special Event: Magic Lantern Water Mirror Fireworks

About this event

At the Mejiro Garden in Toshima Ward, Tokyo, a 4-day summer night special event titled 'Magic Lantern Water Mirror Fireworks' will be held from Thursday, August 20 to Sunday, August 23, 2026. In this event, visitors can experience making their own handmade lanterns and walking around the night garden holding the light. On the outer wall of the garden's sukiya-style building 'Sekichouan,' fantastical fireworks will be projected using projection mapping, and the scene will spread across the quiet pond surface, allowing visitors to enjoy a beautiful spectacle where the real projection and the water mirror overlap. Guided by the soft light of handmade lanterns, participants can slowly take in the unusual nighttime tranquility of the garden, the shapes of the trees, and the shimmering water surface, creating a participatory program where visitors themselves become part of the scenery. Food and beverages in collaboration with restaurants in Toshima Ward can also be enjoyed. With the admission fee including the lantern-making workshop, you can make your own original lantern and use it as you stroll through the garden. This event offers an opportunity to experience a magical summer night unique to Mejiro Garden, where light serves not merely as decoration, but as a presence that guides footsteps and connects people with the landscape.
