Tokyo Tower may have become Tokyo\u2019s second tallest tower thanks to the new SkyTree in Sumida Ward stealing the title in 2010, but the Eiffel Tower lookalike is not to be outdone anytime soon thanks to it\u2019s more central location and a constant stream of events like these.<\/p>\n

Of course, the main attraction at Tokyo Tower is the view of Tokyo from 150 meters high. And while the sight of the urban expanse of Tokyo is jaw-dropping alone, we can always add a little more, right? The folks in charge of the observation deck have done just that and installed a state-of-the-art projection system along with an LED array that helps give the effect of a starry night sky, complete with the occasional shooting star, hovering just above the skyline outside the windows. It\u2019s Tanabata season<\/a> after all right?<\/p>\n

City Light Fantasia<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t let this year\u2019s elongated rainy season fool you; it\u2019s still summer and sooner or later you\u2019ll hear the cacophonous shrill of cicadas, and see splashes of color from yukata<\/a> and jimbei<\/a> clad people on their way to summer festivals. Tokyo Tower is recreating this atmosphere as part of is ongoing City Light Fantasia<\/q> event. Cool Summer Japan<\/q> shows what most Japanese associate summertime with; Sunflowers in bloom, fireworks, a lovely golden sunset, and more.<\/p>\n
