If you want to enjoy a surprise celebration, one option is to use a service that displays your message on a large city screen.

The big screens in front of central Tokyo stations like Shibuya and Shinjuku are famous, but these services are available across the country—from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu and Okinawa in the south—so it’s worth looking into.

Prices reportedly start around 10,000 yen on weekdays.

It sounds fun to go together and watch the message, doesn’t it? These services are used for all kinds of occasions—birthdays, anniversaries, messages from juniors or seniors, proposals—so be sure to check them out!
