The project was part of the JR Otsuka Station North Exit Station Square Redevelopment Project, for which we were responsible for the concept development and lighting direction of the ‘Fantasy of Light’.

The redevelopment work involved the construction of a new roundabout in front of the station, which had previously looked dark and confusing, and the installation of a new monument symbolising Otsuka, based on the image of the O of Otsuka. The space in front of the station, consisting of four monuments of various sizes, is illuminated at night, creating a space that brings the whole town together.

Furthermore, at 00:00 and 30:00 every hour, a light display with images of the four seasons is created, creating a space where the changing of the seasons can be felt.

We hope that the ‘light fantasy’ that accompanies the people of the city will contribute to the further development of Otsuka in the future.
