Season Greeting’s to all, With Christmas round the corner, it’s the time of the year to be merry and joyous. Folks in Tokyo can enjoy the spirit of the season by seeing the multiple illumination events happening around town. I was lucky to have been able to see this years “Caretta Christmas Illumination 2012″ hosted at Caretta Shiodome which features a vast ocean of LED lights, while 3D projectors are used to illuminate and animate the walls of the shopping center.

Personally I think it is definitely one of the best illuminations in Tokyo because it really brings out that christmas feeling. \

I managed to film some of the illumination light up event which happens every 15 or 30 minutes and lasts around 5 minutes+. Hope you enjoy!
After the light up session, you can get the chance to go under the mistletoe which is wonderful especially for couples as your surrounded with beautiful lights.
