Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

We start the journey with a smooth drive across the breathtaking Rainbow Bridge, beautifully lit at night. The glowing lights of the bridge and Tokyo Bay provide an unforgettable backdrop as we glide onto the Wangan line. This is where you’ll first feel the excitement of Tokyo's night scene. You can enjoy the night view of Tokyo from Tokyo's most famous bridge.

Odaiba is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. This district has a tall ferris wheel which is brightly lit by 120,000 neon tubes programmed to display multiple patterns in over 100 colors at night.
You can also enjoy the entire view of the beautiful bridge called "Rainbow Bridge".
The Statue of Liberty is particularly famous.
During the Christmas season, the park is bustling with couples enjoying the beautiful illuminations and large Christmas tree.

Stop 3

Tokyo Tower's Christmas light-up event is held every year from mid-November to December 25th. The event features orange illuminations, and the 10-meter-tall Little Tokyo Tower is placed at the center, hosting a sound and light lighting show. A Christmas market is also held at the same time, with a variety of food and drink booths and dining spaces.

Stop 4

Ginza already has a beautiful night view, but it becomes even more beautiful during the Christmas season, when brand shops compete to decorate their stores with beautiful Christmas decorations.

The annual Marunouchi illuminations feature approximately 286 street trees, mainly along Marunouchi Nakadori Street, lit up with approximately 820,000 champagne gold LED bulbs, with separate illuminations also taking place on Gyoko-dori Street, which connects Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace Outer Gardens.
The Peninsula Tokyo, located at the entrance to the street, has a large Christmas tree set up and is often crowded with people, but with this tour you can enjoy the illuminations from the comfort of your car without having to worry about the crowds.

Stop 6

The Keyakizaka illuminations herald the arrival of winter in the streets of Roppongi.
Amidst the warm city lights that stretch for approximately 400 meters, you will be greeted by a fantastical sight of "SNOW & BLUE" lights emanating from a world of silvery white. Enjoy a Christmas experience unique to Roppongi Hills, which continues to be loved even now, more than 20 years after its opening.
Additionally, Tokyo Midtown Roppongi will feature a display of approximately 240,000 soap bubble illuminations, depicting a fantastical snowy world. Snow begins to fall gradually from the Christmas streetscape enveloped in gold, eventually transforming into a beautiful snowy landscape. In addition to enjoying the interlocking sound and light effects for each scene, you can also enjoy special effects for a limited time, featuring floating soap bubbles and falling snow.

The Tokyo Christmas Market is an outdoor event that recreates the authentic atmosphere of the Christmas home, with its symbolic 14-meter-tall "Christmas Pyramid" that comes from Seiffen, Germany, the home of Christmas ornaments, and rows of stalls selling mulled wine, Christmas sweets, European-style Christmas ornaments, and more.
One of the unique pleasures of a Christmas market is choosing Christmas decorations and presents while drinking mulled wine (hot wine) with friends or loved ones in a romantic atmosphere.

8
Stop 8

Omotesando has been a famous luxury shopping street for long time, but at this time of year, more people come to enjoy the illuminations than to shop. Enjoy the street lined with beautiful zelkova trees decorated with champagne gold lights.

9

During the Christmas season, the "Blue Grotto" stretches from Shibuya's Koen-dori Street to the Zelkova-lined street in Yoyogi Park, illuminating a romantic blue glow for approximately 900 meters. The event's name comes from a cave that extends from the sea on the island of Capri in southern Italy, a popular tourist spot where the seawater appears to sparkle blue. The blue-hued space created by approximately 600,000 illuminations is just as fantastical as the original cave. With 67 lights on Shibuya Koen-dori Street and 60 lights on the Zelkova-lined street in Yoyogi Park, each with 5,000 lights, the venue is a sight to behold.
