Tokyo Mega Illumination is now in full swing at the Oi Racecourse in Tokyo’s Shinagawa ward. After a renewal in January which introduced a time tunnel, visitors seem to be enjoying the location more than ever.
Aptly called the TWINKLE TUNNEL, this latest light installation is a 100 meter long corridor with countless stars projected onto the ceiling and surrounding walls. As you stroll through, the image of a flying Pegasus appears, making visitors feel like they are flying through space.
The choice of imagery is not coincidental. It also characterizes the image associated with the night races at Oi Racecourse, called as it happens “Twinkle Races.”
The theme of Tokyo Mega Illumination’s event is “Tokyo from Edo Period to the Future”, with the TWINKLE TUNNEL working as an entrance to the time travel experience.
