On Sunday before Christmas we headed into downtown Tokyo to see the Christmas illuminations. We got to Shinjuku before the lights came on, so we joined the long line of doughnut lovers at Krispy Kreme. The sign said it would be a 40 minute wait, but we joined the queue anyway and were soon greeted by a tray of hot glazed doughnuts right from the fryer being passed out to the waiting patrons. It only took about 15 minutes to get inside, where we ordered a selection of doughnuts and hot coffee. We sat outside as the sun set and the lights came on.
The Takashimaya department store decorated to the theme of a Christmas circus.
Thousands of lights illuminated the southern terrace of Shinjuku.
To end the evening's adventure, we headed to Shibuya and the large intersection in front of the station which is heavily decorated by neon advertisements and giant video screens and gets crossed by amazingly large crowds of pedestrians each time the traffic light turns green.
