[ Japanese Christmas Illuminations @Tokyo ]

Tokyo area: Merry-go-round type Christmas tree with sculptures of famous skater (Hanyu Yuzuru).

Hello, everyone. Christmas is coming soon!
Every year at this season, I get so excited for illuminations.
This time, I will introduce you about the Japanese illuminations in Tokyo.
Japanese illuminations are getting more brilliant year after year.
Some Christmas trees are unconventional, and some illuminations are light up with projection mappings.
Recently, we use the led illumination. So illumination’s color is very colorful!!
Also this year, eleven sculptures of famous Japanese people have appeared at Otemachi, Marunouchi and Yurakucho areas.
There are sculptures of famous Japanese Busho (Japanese military commanders) and the athlete and so on.
Though, I’m little shy to take photographs with them. lol.
You can see illuminations, not only Otemachi, Marunouchi and Yurakucho areas, but also Omote-sando, Shinjuku and so on.
Next time, I’d like to introduce about Christmas market of Japan.
