"Blessing Forest" Illumination this winter

Each year Tamari Town at Saitama Shintoshin have beautiful night  illumination. They use more than half a million lights to illuminate the trees in the area and also create photo spots out of lights.

This winter the illumintation is on since Saturday November 1st 2025 and will be on nightly, from dusk to midnight, until January 18th 2026, which is earlier than an average year. Usually this illumintation is on until Valentines Day. I took the photo in this post in a previous year. 

Tamari Town is minutes walk from the JR Saitama Shintoshin station. There is charged parking available in both Saitama Super Arena and Cocoon City, each a few minutes walk from the illumination area.
