To get people into the holiday spirits, RocketNews24 headed out with their cameras to check out the Christmas lights at Marunouchi, Tokyo Dome, Roppongi and more. Most events are held every day from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. until Valentine's Day, so you can spend a romantic evening with your loved one basking in the glow from the lights.

2. Tokyo Midtown
From November 12 to December 25, 2015, Midtown will be covered in lights for its spectacular seasonal event, Midtown Christmas 2015. This year's theme, "Midtown Cruise," will once again take over the entirety of Tokyo Midtown starting from the Green Square, giving off brilliant shades of green and blue light for as far as the eye can see.
