We selected seven areas\u2014five in Tokyo, plus Nagoya and Osaka\u2014and participants chose their preferred locations. It was our first night walk in a year, and we were reminded of the joy of seeing things firsthand and exchanging opinions on-site with fellow members. Each area had its own theme, allowing us to explore the unique characteristics of each neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25a0Azabu-Juban \u2013 Motoazabu \u2013 Nishi-Azabu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8f31fc2609197441e7f8bbcb3d0220f2.jpg\" alt=\"\">Azabu-Juban Odori \u2013 The warm orange lighting beautifully reflected off the stone pavement, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/fb2bf5f3990349c9d3ec0f47592cfa66.jpg\" alt=\"\">Low-rise luxury residences \u2013 The illuminated grounds exuded an air of sophistication and elegance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Azabu-Juban, a district blending tradition and modernity, originated as a temple town around Zenpuku-ji Temple, founded by Kukai in the medieval period. Today, it is home to many longestablished shops, temples, and several embassies. Five members gathered at Azabu-Juban Station to begin their investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along Azabu-Juban\u2019s busiest street, Azabu-Juban Odori, old-fashioned shops stand side by side, with a mix of new and old lighting energizing the area. The orange glow from the street lamps reflects warmly on the cobblestone pavement, creating a cozy and inviting nighttime environment.<br>However, the street lamps along Zoshiki-dori, where a famous traditional wagashi (Japanese sweets) shop is located, emit white light. This causes noticeable glare, making the area feel harsh and unsettling, detracting from the stylish image of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The community relaxation space, &#8220;Patio Juban,&#8221; features warm lighting from stone lantern-style bollard lights. These lights effectively enhance both pedestrian and vehicle safety while creating a beautiful nighttime landscape. The illumination harmonizes pleasantly with the turning-colored zelkova trees, earning unanimous praise as a \u201chero\u201d lighting element.\u3000Soft lighting warmly welcomes residents returning to their apartment entrances, and the use of indirect lighting enhances the openness of the buildings\u2019 fa\u00e7ades\u2014both also regarded as \u201cheroes.\u201d On the other hand, excessive light leaking from the interior of a ladies\u2019 select shop and the strong, white floodlight-style illumination at Ajiro Park were criticized as examples of light pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climbing Daikoku-zaka slope, we entered the quiet, upscale residential area of Moto-Azabu. The overall amount of light in the neighborhood\u2014including homes and streets\u2014was kept restrained, with carefully placed pools of light that enhanced the presence, elegance, and aesthetics of the residences, creating a rich and comforting atmosphere. However, the overly bright lighting at a building entrance caused headaches and was unanimously judged a \u201cvillain.\u201d This unique district blends nostalgic and stimulating lighting, where tradition and modernity coexist side by side. Everyone agreed that with better organization and integration, it could become an even more charming neighborhood.

Each facility had a strikingly unique design, yet they all successfully broke away from the traditional image of public restrooms. All of them were impressively clean, well-lit, and clearly designed with safety in mind. The restroom in Ebisu Park, designed by Mr. Katayama, featured simple walls with indirect lighting and soft illumination at the feet, creating an inviting atmosphere that sparked curiosity about the space inside. Mr. Tamura\u2019s design in Higashi Sanchome stood out with its bold red exterior walls and dramatic uplighting. Among them, the restroom at Ebisu East Park, designed by Mr. Maki, was particularly well received. Despite its unique form, it employed only bracket lighting to create a gentle, welcoming light environment, earning the title of \u201chero.\u201d However, the parks surrounding many of these restrooms tended to have high color temperature lighting with low brightness, which made them feel somewhat unsafe. This highlighted the need for lighting plans that consider not just the restroom itself but the surrounding park area as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the team visited MIYASHITA PARK, which opened this July. On the first floor, Shibuya Yokocho stood out with its energetic red lighting from lanterns and shop signs, creating a festive and lively atmosphere. This sense of excitement earned it the title of \u201chero.\u201d The park\u2019s concept of \u201cMIX &amp; MEET\u201d is clearly expressed through bold choices\u2014such as placing high-end brand shops beneath a public park\u2014which effectively captures the essence of Shibuya. However, there were mixed opinions regarding the brightness of the shops and the large staircase; some felt the lighting was excessive. Including the Tokyo toilet project, the experience reinforced the feeling that Shibuya&#8217;s ongoing redevelopment deserves continued exploration through future lighting detective surveys.

We began our walk by taking the Yurikamome Line to Shij\u014d-mae Station. As it was nighttime, we couldn\u2019t enter the Toyosu Market itself, but we observed the surrounding roads, all of which were well-maintained and equipped with low color temperature streetlights. However, we did notice some inconsistency, with fixtures of varying color temperatures scattered throughout the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toyosu Gururi Park doubles as a jogging course, so the lighting was relatively bright to ensure nighttime safety. Still, it felt somewhat excessive, raising concerns that it might appear glaring when viewed from across the water\u2014particularly from the direction of the former Olympic Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toyosu Ohashi (Toyosu Bridge) sparked some mixed opinions. While it\u2019s vibrantly lit in striking colors that certainly draw the eye, some felt it was a bit too bright. Overall, it left us with divided impressions.<br>Interestingly, even within the same jogging course, we found areas with brick walls that created a calm, subdued atmosphere. The contrast between sections made it enjoyable\u2014perhaps that&#8217;s the appeal, being able to jog through different moods along the same path. Near LaLaport Toyosu, we also noted a bus stop with an unusually calm and elegant design, which left a very positive impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though this walk focused solely on the area around Toyosu Gururi Park, and we expected it might lack variation, we were surprised to find subtle changes in atmosphere throughout. The most memorable feature was the lighting along the jogging path. Given the scale of development here, we strongly felt that the nighttime appearance from surrounding areas should also be carefully considered.

However, as always, the harsh glare of standard \u201cLED security lights\u201d drew criticism from many, who labeled them as <em>villains<\/em>. Some areas were particularly problematic, with multiple fixtures installed at low heights, resulting in excessive brightness. In contrast, the older mercury vapor lamps surprisingly left a positive impression. Many participants felt that they didn\u2019t produce an unpleasant glare, and their soft glow was generally more agreeable<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yanaka Ginza was a true visual chaos, filled with various store signs, wall-mounted bracket lights, and streetlights all competing for attention. However, despite the clutter, the store signage and wall-mounted bracket lights (the latter being a rare and interesting feature) were mostly unified with low color temperature fixtures. If the visual focus could be directed toward these warmer elements, the area has the potential to become a much more calm and pleasant space. This highlighted the importance of holistic coordination, and we\u2019re hopeful for future improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This area was previously surveyed in 2014 by LPA staff, and upon comparing with those earlier reports, we noticed little has changed\u2014apart from a slight increase in LED fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It had been a while since our last night walk, and this experience reaffirmed the value of walking the streets in person and feeling the atmosphere firsthand. More than anything, it was simply a lot of fun. The smaller group allowed for more in-depth discussion than usual, making it a highly fulfilling outing. With the world still clouded by grim news, we sincerely hope for the end of the pandemic so we can once again enjoy nighttime strolls with lighter hearts.

We wondered, what kind of lighting is present in cemeteries at night? We chose Somei Cemetery in Sugamo, Tokyo. As a metropolitan cemetery, it is located near bustling areas such as JR Sugamo Station and the Togenuki Jizo shopping street, allowing us to observe the contrast and coexistence between lively commercial zones and the cemetery\u2019s quietness. As a side note, Somei Cemetery is home to many old cherry trees, and the famous \u201cSomei Yoshino\u201d cherry blossom variety originated here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting from Sugamo Station, after a 10-minute walk through the shopping street, turning right off the main road leads to the cemetery entrance. The cemetery covers about 67,911 square meters and is the resting place of approximately 30,000 individuals. We entered the cemetery around 6:30 PM and found the atmosphere was not eerie as one might imagine. Inside, there are pedestrian paths and roads accessible to vehicles, all well-lit by LED streetlights.<br>The main paths maintain illuminance levels between 4 to 6 lux on the ground, and solar-battery-powered pole lights placed roughly every 200 meters provide direct illumination of about 50 lux beneath them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the cemetery lies on the expansive flatlands of Tokyo, distant cityscapes including highrise areas like Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, and Ueno are visible, contributing to the overall sense of brightness in the space.<br>The LEDs used have a high color temperature ranging from 5000 to 6500 K. Had the illuminance been only 1 to 2 lux at these color temperatures, the space would have felt truly eerie. This experience made us realize that even within Tokyo\u2019s urban area, there exist spatial atmospheres unlike any other.

We focused on recommended spots shared by Ms. Uomori, who lives in Kyoto and gave us discoveries from his business trips to Nagoya, and Professor Honma, a former Nagoya resident. For Ms. Kotani, it was her first visit to Nagoya. Although I have lived in Nagoya for five years, I had only seen Sakae as a shopping district, so this was a great opportunity to see the city from a fresh perspective. We met for the first time at the basement floor of Sakae Mitsukoshi, but somehow it felt like we had known each other for a long time, and the walk started with a friendly atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We began our walk by observing the uniquely shaped streetlights at the Mitsukoshi intersection. It was a perfect opening scene for the walk\u2014vibrant and photogenic. We took photos and exchanged thoughts on the lighting design. As we walked from Princess Street toward Hisaya Odori Park, we discussed the color of the angled streetlights and how it resonated with the atmosphere of the neighborhood. We also paid attention to the ambient light spilling from surrounding buildings and how it shaped the feel of the streetscape. Next, we visited Oasis 21 and the TV Tower\u2014two iconic landmarks that represent the Sakae area. A comment was made that it would be fascinating if the LED lighting on these two structures were somehow synchronized to respond to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterward, we left Sakae and headed toward Fushimi Station. Though the forecast had promised clear skies all day, we were caught in an unexpected drizzle. As we walked briskly through the rain, we observed how the blue LED lighting cast an eerie tone over the city. It was something we hadn\u2019t noticed in daily life, but through focused observation, we realized that the streetlights in the area came in various shapes and designs. It became clear that there are still many places in Nagoya worth exploring through the lens of the Lighting Detectives.

At the outset, I felt a bit disappointed by the colorful lighting\u2014personally, I\u2019ve always believed that the charm of illuminations lies in the warm glow of incandescent-colored lights. So I began the walk with mixed feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost immediately, we encountered a strikingly lit tree at a major intersection. It was adorned with LED lights of various sizes in warm tones, and the differing brightness levels enhanced its brilliance, creating a captivating entrance to the illuminated boulevard. Lights were focused only on the leaves, making each one shimmer individually and creating a floating, dreamlike atmosphere. As the lighting gradually transitioned into colored lights, surprisingly, it didn\u2019t feel jarring or out of place. Instead of the cold artificiality I had expected, the colors evoked a sense of comfort and enchantment\u2014perhaps because in today\u2019s fast-paced society, this sort of fantasy and healing ambiance is precisely what people seek. Not just the trees, but also the buildings and elevated highways were lit up, transforming everyday scenes into something extraordinary. The entire cityscape was wrapped in light, and the experience left a deep impression\u2014this was a magical, immersive urban nightscape that felt both festive and rejuvenating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the regular streetlights remained on throughout the event, disrupting the otherwise magical, dreamlike atmosphere\u2014and were unanimously deemed villains. While the retro design of the streetlights themselves was not necessarily out of place among the illuminations, the color temperature and brightness overpowered the subtle charm of the decorative lighting. As a result, we all agreed that the standard streetlights should have been turned off during the illumination hours.<br>In the end, we felt that while the distance of the 5km stretch might be ideal for enjoying the lights from a car, it felt a bit too long on foot. If the boulevard were divided into smaller zones, with different lighting effects repeated at regular intervals, the experience might be more engaging and enjoyable for pedestrians. (Amane Kotani)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we were initially concerned about whether the small-group format would generate the same excitement as past surveys, it turned out that the intimate setting actually encouraged deeper discussion. Everyone was able to express their thoughts without hesitation, and it felt like each team built a stronger sense of camaraderie. I hope we can continue embracing this kind of activity that suits the current times.
