Each year, the 400 meters of Keyakizaka Street behind Roppongi Hills becomes one of the most popular couples’ strolling spots.
What happens?
This year’s display, themed “SNOW & BLUE,” uses around 970,000 white and blue LEDs to conjure up a snowy silver world, with Tokyo Tower providing the perfect backdrop.
The Christmas Market will return as well, this year for its 20th edition. From November 13, there are also separate illuminations at 66 Plaza (until December 27) and Mōri Garden (until December 25).
Schedule 2026
The illuminations run from Thursday, November 5 until Friday, December 25, shining 5–10 p.m. each night. The lights may switch on at a different time on opening night, and hours can change if it gets very crowded.
Where is it?
If you are looking to take the iconic photo of Tokyo Tower and the row of lights, the best spot — without causing a disturbance in the middle of Keyakizaka Street — is just past O-Yane Plaza where the Christmas Market is held.
If in doubt, just gravitate towards the mass of people.
