Blogmas Day 25: Roppongi Hills Illumination

Merry Christmas! I'm going to write a few more posts about Japan here and there.  I had planned to write about a lot more but all my plans, notes and extra photos are on my laptop that is in the shop right now - see Blogmas Day 16: Blogmas Continues

There is a lot to explore around Roppongi and at night around Christmas time there are illuminations to look at.  After our hearty diner at Nishiazabu Gogyo 西麻布五行 (Blogmas Day 22: Burnt Miso Ramen) we had a little stroll around the illuminations, it was lovely!

Blogmas Day 19: Odaiba

There are several shopping malls, museums and leisure centres in Odaiba, it would probably make a great day trip with the family.  We headed over there on a grey Saturday afternoon and really that giant Gundam was the main reason why we wanted to spend an afternoon there.

There are many ways to get to Odaiba.  We took the automated Monorail, Yurikamome, so make sure you go right up to the front of the Train for a great view across the Rainbow Bridge.

Head round to Odaiba Decks shopping mall for their illuminations on the 3rd floor.  These lights are actually on all year round but of course it feels lovely and festive around Christmas time.

We left before the light show on the Gundam but glad we managed to snap a pic of it in the dark.
