Spend joyful moments in Tokyo—a city that offers an abundance of night views with all kinds of lights.

Tokyo is a city where you can find every kind of light that Japan has to offer: the sweeping, panoramic views from towering structures such as TOKYO SKYTREE®; the nighttime views of the bay area such as Odaiba and Toyosu; the lights of Rainbow Bridge and the bridges that span the Sumida River; the blinding orange lights of the piers that can be seen on a night cruise of Tokyo Bay; and the night views that reflect the beauty of each season, such as the cherry blossom illuminations and fireworks shows. The city also hosts a number of light shows and illumination events—Tokyo is truly a “city that never sleeps.” Tokyo’s most representative night views are all covered in this booklet. By visiting these places, I’m sure you’ll find yourself enjoying the night so much that you won’t want to sleep.
