Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and many tourist attractions have launched special events to invite couples to spend sweet moments together. Tokyo Skytree is also getting a romantic makeover for the season. From January 29th to March 15th, every evening the tower will shift from its usual blue lighting to three neon colors—brown, white, and a rainbow spectrum.

In addition to the special lighting, the observation deck at Skytree also features a heart-shaped swing and an oversized touch-sensitive heart-shaped light installation. When couples touch it, the heart lights up. Couples can also head up to the 450-meter-high Tembo Galleria and write their messages to each other on cardboard signs. However, please note that the number of cards is limited—only the first 150 couples or spouses will receive one. Additionally, single women visiting during the event period can purchase chocolate at designated stores in Skytree to receive a “love ribbon” from Asakusa Shrine, wishing them good fortune in finding someone to climb the tower with in the days ahead.
The special lighting is mainly featured on weekends, especially during Valentine’s week with multiple color changes. (Image source / Tokyo Skytree)
