Three Pillars of Nighttime Enchantment

1. “Sakura Night Special Show”

At the heart of the event is a special performance designed to uplift and inspire. LEGOLAND Japan’s creator, Mr. Nakaya, shared his vision: “We hope this show will encourage everyone to feel like they can ‘try their best again tomorrow,’ even amidst life’s ups and downs.” This show, set against the backdrop of the Factory Area around 8:15 PM, features LEGOLAND characters and cast in a moving narrative supporting guests embarking on new journeys.

2. “Nikaido-san’s Special Night Workshop!”

Unleash your creativity at a unique workshop supervised by LEGOLAND Japan Model Builder Mitsuru Nikaido, who has even exhibited at the LEGO House in Denmark. This ‘Sakura Night’ workshop invites participants to build a snail. Mr. Nikaido explains, “Most real snails and seashells have a ‘right-coiled’ shell, meaning the opening appears on the right. We’ll challenge ourselves with a fun building method that makes the shell’s direction clear and involves changing block orientations.” This 30-minute experience at the LEGO Creative Workshop promises a delightful hands-on activity for all skill levels.

3. Special Attraction “LEGO Factory Tour”

For two nights only, the “LEGO Factory Tour,” Japan’s sole facility where guests can observe the LEGO block manufacturing process, returns with a special night-time twist. Visitors can get a rare glimpse into the secrets of LEGO blocks, touching raw granules and solidified forms that are usually off-limits. The dimly lit factory, enhanced by “glowing 2×4 blocks,” transforms into a captivating nocturnal exploration.
