Tokyo Dome City illuminations
The thermometer shows 7 degrees Celsius, cold wind is blowing down from Kamchatka, but that won’t prevent us from continuing our holiday crusade around illuminated Tokyo. Tokyo Dome City in Suidobashi is a large complex of shops, restaurants, an amusement park and a domed stadium where they put some serious effort into making the place look as fancy as possible for the holidays.
The lights are scattered all around but just on the right places to make the scene look fantastic without overdoing it.
Even Johnny Depp the pirate would be delighted by a lustrous ship like this one.
Whoever did this wasn't lacking creativity!
A brave Ultraman posing for photos.
Let's go up the stairs and we'll see an intimidating view of a giant ferris wheel. A little further through the entrance to LaQua we can find a good selection of shops and restaurants.
A quick glance to the left and we'll see a long line of people who just finished attending a concert by Mr. Children, a band that performed in Tokyo Dome tonight.
Let's follow the crowd through a hypnotic tunnel of changing colors.
A UFO has landed somewhere near Starbucks, just in time for the holidays.
Under the festive dome that somehow reminds on a Byzantine basilica, we can sit down, watch big screen TV and chat a little.
Yet another space ship, parked in front of the ice cream shop Baskin & Robbins.
As we break through the 30 minutes long line for women's restroom, we go back through the tunnel that just changed into shades of blue and green.
We reach Depp's ship again.

Time to go back home as the lights will shut off at midnight.
Nearing the exit, we can't miss this altar of sparkling unicorns.
