There are many places in Tokyo where the winter holiday lights are now shining brightly. During the last years, I spent every evening in a different place, each with its own charm… But there are a few places that, in my memory, are the essence of the Japanese winter illuminations. I still remember the magical atmosphere from Omotesando, created by hundreds of thousands yellow LED lights decorating the Zelkova trees…

Travel tip: The illuminations on Omotesando are lit until January 3rd, 2013.
