Christmas Illumination 2012 Summery

 This past year 2012's Christmas Illumination around Tokyo was actually really good. Many illumination was decorated more light than before and spent more money seemingly. Just one disappointment was Tokyo station's lighting-up-show with Projection Mapping had cancelled just after opening day due to safety reason, but still it's really impressive therefore it's fun going out into winter's chilly air.

 There are summery pictures of 2012 Christmas illumination.
