Theme: "Gate of Light" that connects the past, present, and future

The Sakura-dori St., which leads from the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station to Nihonbashi, is regarded as the gate, creating a "gate of light" <Yaesu / Nihonbashi> that connects the past, present, and future.

The cherry tree facing the intersection of Sakura-dori St. is decorated with white LEDs to the tip of the branch, so that the branches that have grown greatly overlap and represent the "gate of light".

The cherry trees between the intersections use golden LEDs, and graceful lights are connected to the "gate of light".

A total of about 160,000 LED bulbs are displayed on about 70 300m rows of cherry trees.
