Higashi Kosodate Community Park in Kasukabe hosts an annual winter illumination event that lights up its walking paths, trees, and open lawns every December through February. The display is beloved by local families and couples seeking a quieter, accessible alternative to Tokyo's crowded city-centre light shows. Stalls selling warm street food including amazake and roasted chestnuts line the park entrance during peak weekends. The event is free to enter and conveniently reached from Kasukabe Station on the Tobu Skytree Line.
