In the middle of the high-rise offices and swanky hotels of Shiodome, you can find the Caretta Shiodome mall, where food, shopping, and the arts go along with views of some of Tokyo’s biggest highlights. But for a certain period of the year, the best site it offers is best viewed on the ground: the Caretta Shiodome Winter Illumination. This is what some Christmas light-up junkies rank as the best illumination in a competitive field.
This year’s theme is Disney Princesses and each week will alternate between Frozen and Tangled with performances every 15 minutes. During November and December there will also be opening performances at 5pm each day.
