Minato at a Glance

The annual Christmas illumination, a famous winter tradition, has appeared in Odaiba. The decorated tree is set up on the seaside in front of the Rainbow Bridge. It is the largest Christmas tree in Tokyo, standing an impressive 20 meters high and 10 meters wide. Using special LED lights, the colorful lights spin around the tree and twinkle like shooting stars. The technology of energy conservation has been used on this tree and this environmentally-friendly Christmas tree has melted our hearts.
