Tokyo Skytree is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this year with special light-ups on weekdays between August 16 and 31. Along with its three regular light-ups, the iconic tower has put on many special light shows since opening in 2012, themed on the different seasons, characters, movies and more.
Out of the 150 versions, Tokyo Skytree will reintroduce 23 of them in August. Don’t miss the light-ups inspired by ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ (2015) on August 17 and ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ (2018) on August 18 as well as the one commemorating Barbie’s 60th anniversary in 2019 on August 22.
There’s also a bright yellow Pikachu light-up on August 24, and five different Evangelion-themed light-shows alternating throughout the evening of August 29. See the full schedule here (in Japanese only).
The special light-ups run from 7.15pm to 12 midnight, Monday to Friday.
