It’s the holiday season! This year – like every year – the winter lights, called illuminations in Japan, lighten and brighten up the city with gentle a gentle glow. Let us introduce three locations with beautiful winter lights in central Tokyo!
Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho
“Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho” is a commercial facility consisting of offices, a hotel, shops, and rental condominiums. Although it is a new facility that only opened in 2016, the annual illuminations are already very popular.

The lights are colored in “Champagne Gold”, an original color created for the Marunouchi area. The warm lights are somehow reminiscent of winter in Scandinavia. The traditional coloring is a pleasant sight. Walking up and down Marunouchi-Naka-Dori Street, which stretches for about 1.2km, is a lot of fun!
