Yomiuriland, the amusement park on Tokyo's western edge in Inagi, launches its winter light event "Jewellumination" on October 29, 2026; it runs through April 4, 2027 (138 days, not counting the park's closed days). The jewel-toned display, produced by lighting designer Motoko Ishii, carries the grand theme "LIGHT is LOVE" this season. The park is about 30 minutes from Shinjuku, so you can pair the rides with the night views in a single trip.
Here's what to know about the schedule, tickets, highlights, and getting there from Shinjuku.
You can see the lights with an admission ticket alone — you only need a One-Day or After Pass if you also want the rides.
The 2026-2027 Season
The season runs from October 29, 2026, to April 4, 2027. Hours are 4:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., though they shift with the season.
The park has closed days through the winter, so check the official calendar for the exact open dates before you lock in a visit. Note, too, that on weekdays from March 1 to 12, 2027, the park is open only during the day, with no illumination — skip those weekdays if the lights are your goal.
This season's sub-theme is "Growing Light," and a new green jewel tone, "Growing Green," joins the lineup — the first new color in two years.

What to See
Inside, you'll find avenues and tunnels of light, plus plenty of spots worth photographing. The main highlights:
- Jewelry Promenade, a 180-meter avenue of light
- Crystal Passage, a tunnel of light about 140 meters long
- Grand Sanctuary, which this season lets you walk right through the light installations for the first time
- Jewelry Stream, a display down the center of the lazy river
- Luxury Wall, a wall of light in the Goodjoba!! area
- Jewelry Grand Objet, the "Sky-Go-LAND" Ferris wheel wrapped in light
The wave pool also hosts "La Fontaine," a fountain show with 226 jets reaching 15 meters high across a 60-meter span, synchronized with lights and music.
Tickets and Prices
Choose your ticket based on how you plan to spend your visit. To see the lights only, an admission ticket is enough; add rides with a One-Day Pass, or enter from 3 p.m. on an After Pass. Prices are below (adults are 18-64, seniors 65 and over, preschoolers from age 3).
Ticket | Adult (18–64) | Junior/Senior High | Elementary / Senior (65+) | Preschool (3+) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
One-Day Pass (entry + rides) | ¥5,900 | ¥4,700 | ¥4,100 | ¥2,500 |
After Pass (from 3 p. | ¥3,100 | ¥2,500 | ¥2,200 | ¥1,500 |
Admission (rides separate) | ¥1,800 | ¥1,500 | ¥1,000 | ¥1,000 |
Buying ahead through the Yomiuran Club (and other advance channels) can shave a bit off the price. Prices can change, so confirm them on the official site before you go.
Getting There from Shinjuku
By train, the easy route is the Keio Line to Keio-yomiuri-land Station, then the "Sky Shuttle" gondola. The gondola boarding area is a short walk from the station, and the ride (about 5 to 10 minutes) drops you at the park entrance. The fare is ¥300 one way or ¥500 round trip (check the latest fare on the official site).
From Shinjuku, the Keio Line takes about 30 minutes including one transfer; the exact travel time depends on the train you take, so check a transit app on the day.
There's also an Odakyu option: ride the Odakyu Line to Yomiuriland-mae Station, then catch an Odakyu bus to the park. Fares and times vary, so confirm them on the day.
When to Go
In winter the sun sets in the late afternoon, so arriving near opening lets you watch the sky fade into the night from the very start. The "La Fontaine" fountain show looks its best once it is fully dark, so plan to stay into the evening. Just remember those March 1-12 weekdays have no illumination.
