Tokyo Tower is celebrating the holiday season once again with illuminations that transformed the 333-meter-high landmark in Minato Ward into a beacon of warm orange hues.
It is all part of the annual Winter Fantasy program that kicked off Nov. 15.
In keeping with this year’s theme, an orange garden decorated with 42,000 LED lights dominates the square in front of the main entrance on the first floor.

The last admission to the main observation deck of Tokyo Tower is 10:30 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. for the top deck.
