A winter tradition that colors the city of the Marunouchi area of Tokyo, which is celebrating its 20th year. The appearance of more than 240 roadside trees decorated with about 1.2 million elegantly shining champagne gold-colored LEDs is perfect for watching with your friend. The "NEW Eco Illuminations," which became a factor to be recognized as a "Japanese night view heritage" in 2016, will also be adopted to illuminate the streets brightly.

This year's illuminations will be expressed in "gradation colors" with the image of a new dawn, "May a wonderful tomorrow begin to shine at the end of the day", creating a fantastic space. You can enjoy different color changes depending on the tree.
