Roppongi Illumination 2017

Roppongi Illumination 2017






Roppongi. I went with my co-worker Shella to Roppongi brcause you know, it’s one of the places I don’t dare go alone. Kind of. 










We were kind of lost at first but the thing about illumunation in Japan is that you can get lost and still find something beautiful to appreciate.This green and red tree for example. The transition. 










Then this already transitioned tree which is equally as beautiful! But you know, it’s probably just me. 










We actually targeted two illumination spots in Roppongi and this is the first one. They had this show of something I can’t fully understand but it was beautiful. 










It’s like the one in Shiodome but less magical. I’m so sorry Roppongi. It’s probably just me. 












It was still beautiful though.

Candle and Amber is the theme of Keyakizaka-Dori. I didn’t understand Candle because it’s just blue but they had Candle and Amber tree which makes a little sense.

Tokyo Tower as usual was so beautiful.

Yas! Be careful when you go to this street. You have to actually stop in the middle of the street just to take this type of picture. Beware. 







Tokyo Tower 







I can’t decide which I like better. Two scenes are both beautiful though so whatevs. 







Oh Tokyo!







So beautiful! Hopefully I’d be able to go back next year. Too bad I wouldn’t be able to see it when I come back. I guess this ends December 25 so you know, if you have a chance, grab it.

Shinjuku Illumination 2017

Shinjuku Illumination 2017






Shortly after my Akihabara trip, I went to Shinjuku hoping it would be colorful again. It was colorful 3 years ago. It was pink again like it was last year. I’m not complaining. Much. 














It was still very nice. I mean, if it’s the season, it’s always nice to appreciate all the little things like this. I mean, looking at it, it’s actually slightly different. Also, the Marine Tower is lit this season! 










Also, I swear I’ve seen it lit in green and gold/orange. 










It was pretty in pink!












At this very point, I was very sleepy but I was so happy! 












Also, not so far away from the Southern Terrace, are small places with lights on as well. 












Also, they added hearts! 












2 hearts. 












I don’t know if it was present last year but they also had this thing going on outside the new Shinjuku Station.














It was pretty in blue. 










 Also, this drink. It was okay. You know, I don’t really like raspberry in general but this candied raspberry thing is good. 














They also have this pathway that I have no one to walk with but it was all good! ;) 










Then this one. I have no idea. That’s all!

I think I have mentioned before that I don’t really have a business to do in Akihabara which have not changed yet as of this writing but ya know you gotta go where you gotta go! I actually went to buy a laptop and I knew they have a mini illumination
thingy going on and so yeah! It was cute. 











They have this illumination thing going on very near the station. It was actually the first kick of this year’s illumination post so I was really very excited.

Akihabara has its charm. I probably just haven’t discovered it yet. I mean, most people I ask usually say it’s their fave spot in Tokyo. How wrong they can be, right?









Surprisingly, this is my favorite thing in the whole set-up. It’s very simple but I like it. 








mini trees








This Christmas Tree shaped structure seems to be the highlight of the illumination. It did not disappoint. 









It’s not extravagant whatnot but it’s something. It’s actually just outside of a big building there and with all the stress from work, I bet it’s nice to pack-up and see something like this.

There are more colors of course. It’s for you to see though! See you! Bye~

Caretta Shiodome Illumination 2016

Caretta Shiodome Illumination 2016






This may be the most beautiful/spectacular Illumination that I've been so far. It's also by far the smallest venue and I was like meh when I first got there without all the lights and all that. I was not that impressed when they turn on the lights even but man, they have a show and that's what makes it so beautiful. 









I found out about this place whilst watching Terrace House on Netflix and I thought it'd be bigger but yeah whatevs. Also, can I just say that I've been really loving Terrace House in general? So I was like, must go! This is the place Arisa Ohata rejected Arman Bitaraf! Because WTF! Arman should have chosen my girl Mizuki. Okay enough fangirling and also I know Arman is already happy with my homegirl Masako. 








I seriously can't get over the illumination show that I watched it 3 times. It was so cold that time so thank goodness the show is only like 5 or 10 minutes apart I don't remember which but I remember it's only a short interval between shows. 








Also, during the intervals, they had a picture taking sesh where the lady asked the people to fall in line so she could take a photo of the guests.

I highly recommend you go to this place! No wonder why it's top picked by Illumination enthusiasts. I never thought I'd say this but thank goodness for my Tokyo job! It gets me to places conveniently. Ciao!

Shinjuku Illumination 2016

Shinjuku Illumination 2016







I may have already mentioned here (or elsewhere) how I feel about Shinjuku. But you know, that didn't stop me from going there anyways. TBH, I still feel a little creeped out by it but whatever, you know.

It would have looked cooler in my eyes if I haven't seen the Meguro first. 








Rose Gold and Gold lights





Gorgeous!






I don't know if this is just coincidence but it was so cool! having them lined up like that.  










I went after work and was surprised that it's kind of like the one in Meguro. It's not Sakura Pink though. It's a combination of what looks like Rose Gold and Gold lights which is a very subtle twist. I thought it's be the same colorful lights from 2014
but I guess they do change things a little every year. I should be back! Ciao!
