Tokyo Christmas 2009 – Kabukicho, Yurakucho and others
After Roppongi Hills Christmas decoration post it is time for some other iconic places in Tokyo.
The First one is Kabukicho (for the non-Christmas post please visit here).
The main color was blue and yes, this is a Christmas palm behind the tree:
The lights were everywhere including in between the flowers:
.
The following pictures I took with my keitai. These were actually the very first pictures I took in Tokyo and these were the very first things I saw once I escaped the Shinjuko huge station:
And here is the movie – Kabukicho by night with Christmas decoration (it is just next to Shinjuko train station exit – listen to the sounds).
Here is the second video. I took it right next to the main police station in Kabukicho (you can see part of it to the right). There are always a group of policemen staying in front of it. It reminded me for the big Roppongi police station but the Kabukicho’s one is smaller of course.
The next one is -
Christmas Yurakucho
Yurakucho is just one station away from Tokyo station – actually you can simply walk from Tokyo station and I do not think it will take more than 15 min. to reach it. For sure there are some big office building here but I think above all Yurakucho is shopping area (or at least this was my impression). Tokyo Kotsu Kaikan was the building, which was attracting most attention so I’ll start with it. Here it is in all its glory:
I couldn’t resist and ventured to the top to have a better view on the Christmas tree and the surroundings. I promptly documented this trip to the top. Please do not watch the movie if you suffer from vertigo. I was really fast and the round stairs looked like they will nevere end.
Here are and the rest of the Yurakucho Christmas pictures:
Just a few more photos. The following pictures I took on my way from Roppongi Hills toward Shimbashi Station. I do not know the name of the area though.
A nice Christmas tree in the vicinity of Ginza:
And last but not least – Christmas Ginza (what a Tokyo Christmas post would be withou it?) :)
