Last year, we treated to you a slide-show of some of the best Christmas lights on display in Tokyo. This year, we’re bringing you a full video!
We headed out with our cameras to check out the Christmas lights at Marunouchi, Tokyo Dome, Roppongi and more. We think you’ll agree that these are some pretty spectacular displays.
Enjoy!
Tokyo doesn’t do things by halves, does it? If you’d like to check out the displays for yourselves, here’s where you need to go:
Caretta Shiodome
Tokyo Dome
Marunouchi
Shinjuku
Tokyo Midtown
Roppongi Hills
We hope you enjoy the lights as much as we did!
