Yokohama Dockyard Garden Projection Mapping
Looking for an unforgettable, mind-blowing experience that's absolutely free? Visit Yokohama's Dockyard Garden and take part in their 3D projection mapping events that take place every night at scheduled times on a seasonal basis.
One of their most popular shows, entitled "ピカチュウ (Pikachu) Nice to Meet You", runs during the summer, coinciding with the "Pokémon Month" events that went on in Minatomirai: http://www.deepjapan.org/a/3339
