ASAKUSA CULTURE & LIGHTS 2026

This is a special viewing opportunity where you can see the normally off-limits Denbo-in Garden, a scenic spot within the precincts of Senso-ji Temple, and the Ema-do hall which houses approximately 50 large ema (votive picture tablets) painted by historical artists such as Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Hasegawa Settan, and Hemmi (Kano) Kazunobu.

During both daytime and nighttime, a sea of clouds display will be held at the Denbō-in garden. Additionally, the nighttime-only program "Golden dragon night gathering" will feature the garden illuminated in fantastical lights, along with original dance performances inspired by the Sensō-ji temple dance "Golden dragon dance".

The sea of clouds display is performed approximately every 30 minutes between 9:00 AM and 8:30 PM, lasting about 10 minutes each time. Additionally, the "Golden Dragon Night Festival" features illuminated gardens at the Denbō-in Temple from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, along with original dance performances lasting about 5 minutes held outside the Ema Hall at 5:00 PM, 5:30 PM, 6:00 PM, 6:30 PM, 7:00 PM, 7:30 PM, and 8:00 PM.

From 17:00 onward, the "Golden dragon night gathering" featuring dances inspired by the light-up of Denbō-in garden and the golden dragon dance will be held (last admission at 19:00)
