The walkways connecting the Sky Arena at the Skytree's Solamachi mall with Tokyo Skytree Station and Oshiage Station are decorated with hundreds of thousands of golden LEDs for this event, held as part of the complex's Christmas celebrations.
The main spectacle, however, takes place at the Sky Arena, which is decorated with an eight-metre-tall Christmas tree that’s beautifully lit with sparkling lights. New for 2024, the nearby Sorami-zaka and Hanami-zaka staircases will be lit up for a festive projection mapping show, which features the Tokyo Skytree's regular lighting hues, as well as special Christmas colours.
Look forward to special light-ups of the 634m Tokyo Skytree itself, which will be glowing green and champagne gold to resemble a Christmas tree, as well as white and red to look like a lit candle. Visitors can enjoy the illuminations while sipping on some German beer or mulled wine from the on-site Tokyo Solamachi Christmas Market (from November 7).
Venture a bit further and you'll come across blue and white illuminations along Kitajukken river, which connects Asakusa with Tokyo Skytree Town. Make sure to drop by Ushijima Shrine and the adjacent Sumida Park as well, which feature beautiful bamboo lights until January 31).
