12 Dec 2009 - Went Roppongi to photograph Christmas illuminations with Ansley and his cousin.
It's been 2 years since I last visited Roppongi. Photos taken 2 years ago can be found here.
We first went Roppongi Hills...
Roppongi Hills. Name of the lightup is "Artelligent Christmas 2009"
Disco Ball
Tokyo Tower
Christmas, the romantic season
Man-made Iceberg
One last look at Roppongi Hills
Next, we passed by Asahi TV Station
We proceeded to dinner after that. It was a seriously short-staffed Japanese restaurant. We spent 15 mins waiting for the hot tea to be served and another 10mins for the menu to be given to us. 45mins later came our 1st dish. We ordered only 4 dishes but we spent 2 hrs in the restaurant.
Already 10pm after dinner, we went to Tokyo Midtown. The name for this year's lightup is
"MIDTOWN CHRISTMAS 2009 ~誰かが誰かのサンタクロース~"
Wind was strong, so I couldn't get a clear picture of the lights even with my tripod
Net of lights
"Wine Glasses" of lights
A superb blue sea of lights.
