If basking in the glow of a giant multifaceted cube that’s illuminated by an ever-changing light show is on your bingo card for the new year, get thee to Yokohama right now, because you’ll never see a more illuminating sight. The Yorunoyo nighttime light-up extravaganza is all along the waterfront in Yokohama through January 4, 2024, and it does not disappoint!
The cube is a colossal metal structure that provides a 3-D canvas for light paintings that range from swirling clouds and smoke…
to the building blocks of life…
to an abstract wash of rainbow colors…
to a rave in a cube…
to a bubbly, sparkly dream.
And after you’ve basked in the gorgeousness of the cube, there’s more at the nearby pier!
A garden of glowing roses blooms atop the ferry terminal…
And a sea of sparkling waves reaches out toward a lit-up bridge on the other side
The waterfront itself lights up every half hour for a five-minute synchronized light and music show, involving multiple buildings and landmarks
