Tokyo Tower Winter Fantasy 2025: Little Twin Stars Illumination

To mark the 50th anniversary of Little Twin Stars (Kiki & Lala), Sanrio will transform the plaza in front of Tokyo Tower into a sparkling holiday spectacle this winter. Tokyo Tower Winter Fantasy 2025, Little Twin Stars Xmas Illumination opens for a limited run from  November 17 through December 25, bringing large‑scale installations, themed lighting shows and a free pop‑up celebrating five decades of the beloved characters.

Centerpiece installation and evening shows

Visitors arriving at Tokyo Tower will find a roughly 10‑meter LITTLE TOKYO TOWER rising in the Tower GARDEN, bathed in Kiki & Lala’s signature pink and pale blue. The installation doubles as a dedicated photo spot where guests can take commemorative pictures in a softly lit setting. Beginning at 16:00 each day, a short lighting show set to the Little Twin Stars original song Twinkle My Dear...☆ runs approximately every 15 minutes (each show about five minutes), with the final performance at 22:30. Overall illuminations are on from 9:00 to 23:00.

Twinkle GARDEN: 43,000 lights and charming details

The adjacent Twinkle GARDEN promises a highly photogenic atmosphere, some 43,000 hanging lights, ribbon ornaments and white trees shimmer in pink and light‑blue hues, evoking a starry Kiki & Lala world ideal for holiday photos and evening strolls.

Free pop‑up at Tower Gallery — trace 50 years of Kiki & Lala

From December 1–25, the Tower Gallery on the 3rd floor of Tokyo Tower Foot Town will host a complimentary pop‑up titled Little Twin Stars 50th Anniversary — Twinkle Celebration (open daily 10:00–19:00). The exhibition offers fans a chance to walk through five decades of Little Twin Stars history, enjoy warm messages from Kiki & Lala, and experience themed corners including:
