The Ao no Kirameki illumination event at Waters Takeshiba is running from late November until the end of January, and it's set to include an array of lights adorning the venue's entrance, grand staircase, and lawn square. The latter is a particularly lovely spot thanks to the views of the Tokyo skyline you can enjoy as a backdrop.
