　The "Special Light Up" of Tokyo Tower is entertaining the eyes every day.

The 2019 Rugby World Cup is scheduled to be held in 12 cities across Japan.

On December 24, 1000 days before the opening of the event, a countdown event was held by Tokyo, one of the host cities, in order to boost the spirit of the tournament.

The event was held at Tokyo Tower.

At the same time, on Christmas Eve, Tokyo Tower was colored with "Special Light Up" in three colors, blue, white and green, inspired by the host city mark of "Rugby World Cup 2019".

Lighting time from sunset until 19:30/20:00 to 23:00

By the way, "Christmas Light Down Story" is lit from 19:30 to 20:00, and "Landmark Light (Winter Version)" is lit from 23:00 to the next morning.

On this day, from the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki, over the Tsukiji Market, we could clearly see "Diamond Veil: Blue, White, Green" even from a distance.

　Tokyo Tower is called "Special Light Up" through events and promotions, and produces colorful light using "Diamond Veil" with seven lighting colors, or by searching light irradiation, vivid and impactful colors can be seen.

The total number of lights shining from the frame to the outside is 276.

I hear that each of the 17 layers of light has the function of changing to seven colors, and each color contains messages such as love, nature, life, dreams, peace, etc.

Light-up like a diamond-scattered light with a white light that looks independent one by one.

You can descend near the waterside by stairs and slopes from the side of Tepposhu-dori, benches are set up, and vegetation is planted.

In particular, the vegetation is the scenery of the Kamejima River during the Edo and Meiji periods.

It is a work that symbolizes the basic philosophy "Magokoro" for the store's customers, and I heard that it expresses the moment when Tenma is wrapped in Zuiun and descends on the flower core.

At the venue, the Zuiun in the background flutters along with the music, and in the thunderclouds and flames, the statue of the heavenly woman emerges vividly.
