The illumination along Nakadori in Marunouchi that runs from November to February every year reflects the style and the classy atmosphere of the surrounding neighborhood. There are few gimmicks and the organizers rise above the continuing arms race in Tokyo Illuminations with an understated display that complements Nakador’s European-style boulevard. The many trees along Nakadori are tastefully lit with eco-friendly LED bulbs bathing the area in the signature ‘champagne gold’ color that says everything about the luxury designer shops and financial powerhouses lining the street The flagstones and cobbles, the sophisticated sculpture, the myriad of shopping and dining complexes, art galleries, luxury hotels, and mixture of glitz with classical facades all conceal what used to be a rather staid and conservative business district. And before that, Marunouchi (‘within the enclosure’) was within the outer moat of Edo Castle and was the home of the most powerful feudal lords during the Edo period.
