Event details
Interior decoration
The park is adorned with maple and ginkgo leaves in shades of red, orange, and yellow, creating an autumnal atmosphere that reflects the deepening of the season. At Tenbo Park, where autumn has arrived a little early, you can enjoy a comfortable time even amidst the lingering summer heat.
●A space of autumn leaves that stimulates the five senses
In the Observation Hill area, original background music that changes between day and night, featuring the sounds of birds and crickets and the autumn breeze, will be played for a limited time, creating an autumnal atmosphere through sound! In addition, the aroma inside the building will be temporarily changed to scents such as osmanthus and orange. You can experience the autumn park through both sound and scent, even while indoors.
At the entrance, a "SUNSHINE" monument adorned with autumn leaves will appear, welcoming visitors as a photo spot available only in autumn. In the observation hill area, a fantastical "Autumn Leaves Pool" will appear, featuring a design that makes it seem as if autumn leaves are falling from the full moon. Visitors can enjoy taking commemorative photos and strolling around while feeling the colors of autumn in various locations throughout the facility. During the Halloween period from October 1st to October 31st, some of the decorations will be transformed into a special Halloween version!
●A new "campsite in the sky" where you can experience something out of the ordinary has just opened!
In a section of the observation hill, a new camping-inspired space will be created, featuring tents and tree stump cushions, allowing visitors to enjoy a relaxing, out-of-the-ordinary moment while soothed by the unique autumn scenery.
Additionally, in our permanent artificial bonfire display space, which recreates the flickering of a campfire using lights and steam, you can easily enjoy a camping atmosphere indoors while surrounded by autumn decorations.
The rugs laid in this area were made by the Toshima Ward Komagome Welfare Workshop, a support facility primarily for people with intellectual disabilities. Their handmade texture adds warmth and gentleness to the entire space.
Comment from the person in charge at Komagome Welfare Workshop, Toshima Ward
Komagome Welfare Workshop is a support facility located in Toshima Ward, Tokyo, primarily serving individuals with intellectual disabilities. They have launched a brand called SOMEI VILLAGE, manufacturing and selling Saori weaving products and chocolates. Saori weaving, carefully woven on small looms, allows the weaver's free spirit to shine through, resulting in one-of-a-kind fabrics. This time, they have adopted these Saori weaving fabrics to be used as rugs. We hope that many people will have the opportunity to see these warm, hand-woven rugs.
