The shape of it
About
The tree-lined Naka-dori avenue between Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace glows with around 820,000 LEDs in Marunouchi's signature champagne-gold, one of the longest-running and most elegant illuminations in the city. It runs deep into winter, well past the Christmas season.
Highlights
- Around 820,000 LEDs in Marunouchi's signature champagne-gold along Naka-dori
- Runs into mid-February, long after most Tokyo lights switch off
- Christmas market and food trucks among the trees near Tokyo Station
Plan it well
- A few minutes' walk from Tokyo Station (Marunouchi side) or Yurakucho
- Best photographed on a weekday evening when the avenue is calmer
- Hours extend later in December — check the schedule for late-night viewing
