SHIKIMIKIE

Frozen and Tangled. They actually did these two alternately so of course I had to see both. It was soo worth it. Now, having quitted my Tokyo job kind of made this all a little too bothersome so to speak but still , I kind of managed to get my lazy arse up and go about my day.






Frozen was up the first off day I had back from my trip to Korea so I did that. I don’t know if I told you guys before but Frozen as a whole movie, I kind of like. Anna, not so much. Elsa is okay. Although she was kind of just scared the whole time so I don’t like that about her. Anyways! The illumination! As always, I really liked the illumination here best! Like, there’s no competition going on thank you very much!







The next time I went, it’s up for Tangled! Loved that movie. Meh, actually...Okay so maybe not the place to talk about movies but yeah, it was hella perfect! Man, please do MULAN next year!





So like, around 9:00pm they change the theme for an hour and you know, I actually didn’t stick around much for it but it was Beauty and the Beast that they did from last year that they’re showing. I think I also do Winnie the Pooh but oh well. So yeah. That’s it.










They have the theme displays up the building if that's what you even call it but anyways. I believe this is the same rose they displayed last year with few of its petals down already. It's kind of nice. My goodness it'll be so epic to watch the last one fall. And capture it in slow motion! AHHH!

Hi there! So you know, the first time I went, the tower was this color which I know they do from time to time depending what there is to celebrate.







It was still beautiful as it is. But last year's team was kind of epic and this year's a no match, sorry. All they have for a show is the blinking thing they have once in a while.

This one tells us that there’s a new bulb hanging around because like last year’s blog, one additional bulb or whatever it is this year.







My first illumination this year. Kind of the case for most of my illuminations, I think. Kind of. Well like I said, just for the convenience of it. I should have went when they’re doing the carols.

I already told you that this place is my favorite for illumination, aye? So last season, I went. I also vlogged about this by the way so please check that out that if you like. CLICK FOR THE VLOG!



















At the top floor of Caretta Shiodome, they have this stunning roof deck that is not relevant to this post but yeah at the top, they have Beauty and the Beast’s costume on display and some interactive stuff that I enjoyed.











I hope next year’s theme is Tangled because that would be so nice for the Disney kid in me. That’s all! Just like last year, Caretta Shiodome is still my winner for the Tokyo Winter Illumination.

Ebisu. I’ve been to Ebisu before of course. It’s two stations away from my work in Tokyo and I always feel like I don’t have time so I always go to nearby places. Very convenient though because I work in Tokyo. Lucky if you may.











What I missed last year was the Christmas Tree. It’s still fine but it made me realize that ones absence may feel okay but it’s better when it’s complete. Saveh!!




Also!!! They had this choir thing going on when I went and man, I stood there in the freezing cold and watched aaaaallllllll the performances. It was worth it though for sure!!! Okay one of the reasons I completed the choir was because they really lifted my spirit. But also because if I won’t, I wouldn’t be able to go near the chandelier. Charot! The Chandelier, has one light bulb added to it from the last time I went so that’s nice. I mean, not that I noticed. Haha





Yas. I may have said this before but you know, I’m really looking forward to come back to this place 30 years from now. But you know, that’s just 30 lights added so I really don’t know if that would make significant difference. But hey~





Also, at this point, I don’t have any battery left but I survived taking photos. Yay! It’s not the best place to see illumination but it’s not bad! If you’re nearby, make sure you drop by.

Maybe because Shibuya doesn't have a lot of places to do this kind of displays but yeah. I'm not saying that this is not good. It's good! I just hope there's more of this. I think. The ribbon is cute! I think big ribbon ornaments like this would enlighten everyone of the theme they're doing.
