Tokyo Skytree Lights – Nightly Colors Explained

Skytree's nightly lights often follow named themes (e.g., Iki, Miyabi) and switch palettes for events.

Core Themes

Occasional one-night palettes mark sports wins or cultural events. Check calendars day-of.

Best Angles for Light-Ups

• Riverbanks for mirror-like reflections.
• Bridges for rails as leading lines.
• Deck interiors for city glow plus lit tower body.

Blue Hour Advantage

Tower detail remains visible while lights pop.
