Every year, Tokyo and other areas around Japan light up in celebration of Christmas.
This season is generally viewed as a time for couples to check out the beautiful light displays in the area. Moreover, it’s a time to reserve buckets of chicken from KFC and order Christmas cake to celebrate over; not as romantic as most western countries, but a fun experience nonetheless.
Here are some areas around Tokyo that are doing the light up thing right this year:
Tokyo Midtown
Roppongi Hills Keyakizaka
Tokyo Sky Tree Solamachi (Oshiage)
For more…
If you’d like to see some more photos, here are some more I took a few years back. You can also go to these sites yourself.
Some other great places to check out the Christmas lights or “Illumination” as the Japanese call it are:
- Ebisu Garden Place
- Shinjuku Southern Terrace
- Shiodome/Caretta
