DSC_0592RS'G.jpg Tokyo Tower is a place where you can enjoy light-ups that change patterns throughout the four seasons.

The light-up includes a classic "landmark light" that illuminates the frame with 180 lights, and a total light that shines from the frame to the outside, which is lit according to weekends, anniversaries, events, promotions, etc. There are two types, "Diamond Ver", in which the 17-tiered light hierarchy is transformed into seven colors.

On July 7, the standard landmark light was switched from the orange-based winter version to the white-based summer version.

Using a silver light called the "metal halide lamp", it features a refreshing and cool image based on white.

From the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki, over the Tsukiji Market, you can see a sharp light-up design from a distance.

On the day of the event, following the G8 Summit held on Tanabata on July 7 in 2008, from 20:00 to 22:00 to prevent global warming, lighting up facilities and homes nationwide "Cool Earth Day" calling for simultaneous turning off lights.

The Tokyo Tower was also wrapped in darkness during that time.
