Fukaya Hanazono Premium Outlets Illumination 2026

The Fukaya Hanazono Premium Outlets is only a few years old, it opened just after the pandemic. Its had illumination every year since its opened, but this is the first time I was there late enough in the evening to see it turned on! 

Its nothing special to be perfectly frank. I think it probably looked a lot better when the Christmas trees were still up. But they were taken down on Christmas night. (That is very common in Japan). They do have several trees on the grounds of the outlet wrapped in lights. They are young trees though, so it doesn't really make an impact! I did like the waterfall type lights though. They also have the Garigari Kun icepop / ice lolly is lit up and the Dragon Quest character pictured too. 

The illumination is on until February 23rd. You can also see the Dragon Quest character until February 23rd too - its there as part of a Dragon Quest event. The Garigari kun ice lolly is there all year round.
