Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo in the capital’s Bunkyo Ward is putting on an aurora show of its own to celebrate its 70th anniversary next year.
During a media preview Nov. 5, six layers of laser beams were projected from six directions on artificially generated fog to recreate an “aurora” above the hotel’s garden.
The “Tokyo’s Magical Forest Aurora” event runs until Feb. 7.
The aurora appears every 30 minutes from 7 p.m. seven times daily.
