The Tokyo Skytree illumination has transformed the Oshiage area in these past two years. The event this year included a projection mapping show, beautiful lights and very attractive Christmas tree decorations—what a wonderful new addition to the shitamachi (downtown) area of Tokyo.

Christmas lights with the Skytree in the background as seen from the 7th floor of the Solamachi Mall

Lights at the Solamachi Mall. Subaru has put up a display of the latest Forester model. You can sit in the car tilted at 50 degree and take a look at the towering Skytree.

Christmas tree at the Tokyo Skytree

Christmas tree and the Skytree in the background. This seemed to be the most popular view, as many people were gathering here.

Even the lockers at the Tokyo Skytree reflect the Christmas and illumination mood.

Extensive light-up in the Solamachi area, with a lot of Christmas shopping of course!
