Launched in 2024, it holds the Guinness World Record for the largest permanent architectural projection, covering nearly 14,000 square metres.
The display uses 40 high-brightness projectors, powered mostly by solar energy, and runs several short sequences between 7 and 9 pm. Weekdays focus on abstract themes such as evolution and lunar cycles. Weekends lean into popular culture, with J-pop performances, anime scenes and a life-size Godzilla looming over the plaza.
City officials say the project aims to boost night-time tourism. Critics call it costly, but visitor numbers suggest the show has already become part of Tokyo’s evening routine.
