KERA-IKE Ice Rink Stardust Ice Rink enveloped in fantastic lightsEvent period 2024/12/01-2025/01/13

We will be holding the Stardust Ice Rink, a new skating experience that immerses you in a fantastical light installation. The opening hours of the Keraike Ice Rink will be extended until 17:XNUMX p.m., and the glittering installation decorations will sparkle at dusk. You can also enjoy hot drinks inspired by the winter starry sky, and live harp music for a limited number of days.

A world of twinkling stars in the forest at dusk

The entire space of the Keraike Skating Rink will be decorated with lights, creating an installation that weaves light with the richness of nature. The theme is "Mystery of the Forest." Small islands are dotted around the pond in the forest, and the trees will be decorated with stars, buds, and jewels. The buds are shaped like drops of water, and the jewels are shaped like ice crystals, expressing the way water crystallizes into ice. The light emitted from the mirror ball reflects in the trees, sparkling like countless beautiful stardust.

The main object, which is the symbol of the installation, is an abstract design of a person with hands clasped together. Keraike Skating Rink is located in the lush forests of Karuizawa, and the design is imbued with respect for nature. You can enjoy a unique skating experience in a fantastical space enveloped in a variety of brilliantly shining lights.
