NEWS

  • The official website has been launched.

    A projection mapping event comes to Takanawa Gateway City for the very first time!
    Using the walls of Gateway Park and THE LINKPILLAR 1 as our canvas, this immersive show combines light, sound, and fountain effects to create a powerful, three-dimensional experience like no other.

Step onto a magical stage where light and sound weave their spell, brought to you by Takanawa Gateway City.

Once known as the gateway to Edo, where people and cultures came together and Japan’s first railway was built across the sea on an embankment, Takanawa has always been a place of innovation. Today, that legacy continues as light and sound guide you on a journey through time.

Set in TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY, a testing ground for ongoing innovation, this projection mapping experience takes you through the past, present, and into the future. Immerse yourself in TAKANAWA LIGHT JOURNEY, an immersive entertainment spectacular that blends seamlessly with the city, and discover the untold stories of Takanawa.

Journey Through Memories of Takanawa

Time Voyage - A Light Path of Memories

Travel through time from roughly 150 years ago, when Japan’s very first seaside railway ran across the water, to the present, and into a future 100 years from now, tracing the history and memories built in this place.
One day, a ticket arrives, marking the beginning of a journey through Takanawa’s history and the evolution of mobility.

This journey is brought to life through projection mapping that uses advanced technology to make images move through space, synchronized with fountains throughout the venue to create a three-dimensional spatial experience.
