After that, we also had Halloween edition Pumpkin Soft Ice Cream JPY 380 at Churros House.

I really enjoyed my time exploring this magical place, visiting this place together with Mr Jajan was simply a dreamy and blissful moment of my life.

The park is very spacious where each area has a different theme of lights illumination such as light tunnel, light forest, etc.

This year they’ve added a new addition that has become the center piece of 2016-2017 Jewellumination, it is this tall light installation that looks like a lady with long dress standing, every few minutes the lights will blink by following the rhythm of a song.

If you enjoy thrilling rides, we highly recommend you to try Bandit, Yomiuriland’s most popular rollercoaster with a top speed of 110km/hour, a thrilling way to enjoy the beautiful view of Jewellumination.

AnakJajan got to say that the design of Jewellumination is seriously spectacular, each area has its own charm, compared to all of the lights illumination AnakJajan’ve ever visited, Jewellumination is definitely THE MOST BEAUTIFUL lights illumination so far.

Overall, visiting Jewellumination in Yomiuri Land was one of our memorable things to do on our #AnakJajanJAPAN autumn trip, it was magical and a dream came true 🙂
