　On November 25, "Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St." (Sotobori-dori St.-Showa-dori) and "Yaesu Nakadori" (Eitai-dori St.-Yaesu-dori) are illuminated at the annual end of the year.

The cherry trees facing each intersection of "Sakura-dori St." are decorated with white LEDs to express the gate of light by overlapping with the branches that have grown greatly. The cherry trees between the intersections are decorated with champagne gold LEDs, and are connected by elegant light to connect the gate to the gate.

On the street lights of Nakadori, an illumination motif inspired by one of the Edo Kiriko patterns, "Kikuriko patterns".

In addition, in the open space of the Yaesu Center Building, there is a graphic sheet with Edo Komon pattern that displays the concept of planning, organizers and illuminations.

This year's theme is "From" smart "to" IKI "".

Now that the uniqueness of Japan is attracting even more attention ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, I heard that I want you to think about the old and new town "Yaesu Nihonbashi" that turns Edo's "IKI" into the world.

Edo kid's temperament whose main territory is "Iki" and "Patting". It has prospered as a center of commerce and culture since the Edo period, and is suitable for transmitting the charm of the area where tradition and newness coexist.

On the first day, a lighting ceremony was held in front of the Yaesu Center Building from 18:00.

　"NIHONBASHI-Wish Forest" opens at "Fukutoku no Mori", which opened on November 25 and September 28.

Date: From November 25 to January 9, 2017 17:00 to 23:00

"A shooting star" is a phenomenon in which dust with a diameter of several mm to several cm drifting in the solar system air enters the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of 10 km / second. Although it is difficult to see in the city sky, it seems that it is detected every 10 to 15 minutes over Japan. Illumination Art Project, which uses a real-time meteor observation system developed by Basqueur to detect a shooting star, changes the production of forest light in conjunction with real time.

The reason for the world's first illumination production with natural phenomena and technology.

In addition, in line with the legend that "If you sing a wish to a flowing star three times, your wish will come true", a "wish display" will be installed at the venue, and the wish posted from the special site will be projected three times when the shooting star appears. It seems that there is a chance to reach a "frame of stars (coupons available at surrounding facilities)" on the smartphone that posted the wish.

During this period, I heard that special events are also planned to match the timing of the astronomical phenomena of the Gemini meteor shower (December) and the Gemini meteor shower (January).　

　Prior to the "NIHONBASHI-Wish Forest" to be held at "Fukutoku no Mori" from November 25 (experience-based illumination event that uses a real-time meteor observation system developed by Bascule Co., Ltd. 1, 2, 3, Collagement TER Nihonbashi will be launched on November 18 at Coredo Muromachi 1, 2 and 3, Collagement TER Nihonbashi.

Choledo Muromachi 1, 2, 3, Choledo Nihonbashi, and the whole city of Nihonbashi change clothes into the dress of "Wish Forest".

In addition, as an event <cooperation project>, during the period, "Nihonbashi Star Carnival", limited goods and menus related to "stars" appear at Coredo Muromachi 1.2.3, Colled Nihonbashi, and Mandarin Oriental Tokyo. If you post wish through a special website or Twitter, you will find star motif goods and special coupons that can be used at each store.

　There is also the word "Sakura Momiji", and the autumn leaves of Yoshino cherry tree are said to be as beautiful as Iroha maple, but in terms of attention, the fact is that they worship the dust.

The autumn leaves of Iroha maple are wonderful not only in the delicate shape of individual leaves and the changing colors, but also in the cohesion of the entire tree.

On the other hand, in the case of Yoshino cherry tree, when it comes to autumn leaves, the leaves turn red, and the leaves fall one after another.

The whole tree lacks unity, and the impression that it has been saved cannot be wiped out.

It is also called a week point because the leaves are slightly thick and the back has a sober color, and the vividness of redness does not stand out even when viewed through the sunshine.

However, there are various kinds of leaves in Yoshino cherry tree, such as red, brown and yellow, and gradation can be seen in one leaf.

I hear that the traces of insect bites are also one of the beauty of modeling.

If you pick up the laid fallen leaves, you can rediscover individual differences.

It is a point of viewing the autumn leaves of Yoshino cherry tree, which is a bit different from the maple maple.

At the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, you can enjoy the calm late autumn atmosphere, which is different from the gorgeous scenery of spring.

Hasenoki (Haji tree) is deciduous Takagi of the family Urushi.

It's also known as squirrel. It is said to be native to Indochina, China, and was first introduced from Ryukyu, so it is also called Ryukyuhaze.

What can be seen in the mountains of Kyushu from Honshu today is thought to be that what was planted to collect wood wax has escaped.

The leaves are odd feathered compound leaves consisting of 4 to 6 pairs of leaves, gathering near the tip of the branch. dioecious.

At the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, the autumn leaves of Hakkeiyama and Gozenoki at Mt. Ochinyama are at their best around the tide pond (Oizumi).

There is a time when the "foliage" that leaves the green are mixed, and as the autumn leaves progress, the whole gradually changes from a little modest scarlet to a bright red red-red red color.

Hazemomiji, which beautifully turns red in the world of Haiku, is called Hazemomiji, and is considered a seasonal word for autumn, but it is a tasteful autumn leaves.

The exact color of the song "I found a small autumn" is the perfect color for the lyrics "Haze leaf red and I entered the day ...".

When photographed with backlight, the autumn leaves become even more prominent.

Around the goby tree at Hakkeiyama overlooking the Tsubame Ochiya, the fallen leaves fill their feet like a red carpet, and the sign of late autumn is thick.

　From November 20 to November 24, the Tokyo Sky Tree is conducting a special lighting on the theme of "Japanese food", a Japanese food culture, in line with "November 24 is Japanese food day" proposed by the National Conference on Japanese Food Culture.

This time, the motif is the two types of menus of "Chirashi sushi" and "hand-rolled sushi", and the design is based on the expression of "colored" and "tasty atmosphere".

From 16:30 to 22:00, every hour and every 30 minutes, the tallest tower in the world is filled with "chirashi sushi" and "hand-rolled sushi" coloring the night sky.

In the "Chirashi sushi" pattern, white is vinegared rice, yellow is kinshi egg, yellowish green is avocado, red is tuna.

In the "hand-rolled sushi" pattern, we hear that white expresses vinegared rice, yellow is egg-yaki, red is tuna, green is cucumber, and deep green is seaweed.

In addition, it seems that intersection lighting is used to express purple soy sauce.

Although the delicate design alone has some difficulty in the visibility of distant view, on a clear day, you can enjoy a unique special lighting across the Eitai Bridge.
