 The Rio de Janeiro Olympics have finally begun.

At the Tokyo Sky Tree, special lighting has started to excite the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and Paralympics and encourage players. It is entertaining your eyes from Chuo-ohashi Bridge over Eitai Bridge.

Date: August 4-22 (Olympic), September 6-19 (Paralympic)

Lighting time: 18:45~24:00

On the first day of both (August 4th and September 6th), a lighting design based on yellow and green inspired by the Brazilian flag.

During the tournament, the Brazilian flag and lighting based on red and white inspired by the Hinomaru alternately lit every 30 minutes, with the idea of connecting to the Tokyo Olympics at the suggestion of the Brazilian government.

Since the opening of the Tokyo Sky Tree in 2012, this is the third Olympic and Paralympic Games in summer and winter, but it is the first time to support the national flag.

Also, when a Japanese national team player wins a gold medal in both tournaments, I heard that a special design lighting with gold and Hinomaru will be held on the day or the next night.
