TOKYO LIGHTS is a festival of light that first began in 2021 to illuminate Tokyo’s nightscape. At its core are two main pillars: an international projection mapping competition where creators from around the world showcase their talent, and an immersive entertainment program that fuses light, art and technology. Through these experiences, TOKYO LIGHTS delivers a message of creativity and hope toward the future.
The festival aims to nurture Tokyo’s vibrant night culture and foster a new form of entertainment that can be enjoyed by people of all ages—enriching the city’s cultural and tourism landscape as a celebration open to everyone.

The 1minute Projection Mapping Competition, originating from Japan and first held in 2012, is one of the most prestigious and long-established international projection mapping competitions in the world.
Every year, creators compete for the world’s top title with works ranging from 1 minute to 1 minute 59 seconds.
It is a one-of-a-kind festival in Japan where you can experience an extraordinary lineup of projection mapping works — from renowned professionals to emerging young talents — all at the highest level of creativity and diversity.

This year, entries are widely invited from both Japan and abroad under the theme “Dialogue.”
