Hibiya Blossom 2025

Hibiya’s Spring Celebrated with Sustainable Artificial Flowers

"Hibiya Blossom 2025" continues its tradition, adorning Hibiya with sustainable artificial flowers, embracing the theme of "Art & Flower." The event transforms Hibiya Step Plaza and Hibiya Naka-dori into vibrant, picturesque spaces, heralding the arrival of spring.

A highlight of this year’s event, titled "Wicked the Musical presents Flower Dome," is a colossal flower dome, measuring approximately 4 meters in height and 9 meters in width. This installation, a collaboration with the popular movie "Wicked the Musical" (scheduled for release on Friday, March 7th), will be on display at Hibiya Step Plaza from Wednesday, March 5th, to Sunday, April 6th. Concurrently, Hibiya Naka-dori will feature "Botanical Street," showcasing flower art on streetlights, benches, and other urban elements, creating an immersive floral experience throughout the "Hibiya Blossom 2025" period. These installations offer visitors a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in a world of flowers.

Furthermore, Mitsui Fudosan Group extends the spring-themed festivities across four of its facilities (Tokyo Midtown, Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, and the Nihonbashi area). Each location will host unique events, centered around the theme of flowers, allowing visitors to experience the diverse facets of spring’s arrival.
