Forget the lingering heat and enjoy the cool autumn weather early! ＼Held from Thursday, September 11th to Sunday, November 30th, 2025／
Sunshine 60 Observatory Tenbo Park (Ikebukuro, Tokyo) will be holding an event called "Tenbo Park Autumn Stroll" from Thursday, September 11th to Sunday, November 30th, 2025 , where you can experience five different types of autumn with all your senses .
A spot that answers the question, "What will you do this fall?" has appeared in the sky above Ikebukuro!
During the event, background music incorporating natural autumn sounds such as birdsong, crickets, and the autumn breeze will be played, and the Sky Park, 251 meters above sea level, will be transformed into a Japanese autumn theme. The space, decorated with autumn leaves, will be transformed into a photo spot everywhere. At night, the atmosphere will be slightly different from the daytime, with fantastic lighting that changes from yellow to bright red in the first and second halves of the event , evoking the image of "the changing colors of the autumn leaves as autumn deepens." The "Fallen Leaves Photo Corner," which was very popular last year, will now feature a new sound effect that makes it seem as if you are stepping on real fallen leaves , creating an even more realistic "autumn leaf viewing in the sky."
During the period, there will be events and workshops that even small children can enjoy, such as crawling races and sand painting experiences, Japanese musical instrument apprenticeship experiences, concerts and picture book reading sessions. In addition, Tenbo Park CAFE will be offering a limited-time autumn menu, allowing you to experience the five "Autumn of XX" – music, sports, art, reading and appetite – in your own way, and enjoy the autumn that is unique to Tenbo Park to your heart's content.
Because it is indoors, you can enjoy the charm of autumn at this "sky park" comfortably even during the lingering heat of summer, and all 81 days a year.
