点评:WHAT it is and WHEN to go:
We were there during winter, and it was pure romantic under those starry, starry, fairy lights. Found out that the lights were part of the "Marunouchi Illuminations" that runs from late autumn (early December maybe?) to February (great for Valentine's too I guess!). Also being winter, it gets dark from 4pm so perhaps good to go early because it gets pretty chilly from 8pm onwards.
WHAT TO DO THERE:
Other than the 1+km street (aka Naka-dori Avenue) of lights, there were also plenty of (permanent?) art sculptures on the wide pavements, and they even blocked some roads for the special art exhibition just for winter. What we loved most was that there were temporary caraven-booths from established cafes (some were from the five-star hotels along this street), where you can get your Christmas items such as chocolates, german sausages (yes that's a thing in Japan for Christmas), and red mulled wine that's meant to be enjoyed during Christmas. Pretty cool to enjoy sipping on a cup of non-alcoholic warm mulled wine with beautiful maple leaves all around you, you'll feel like you're in Europe rather than in Japan. Oh, there's also an ice-skating rink for kids. Only in winter. We came out the other end after a slow, 20-minute stroll and arrived at Hibiya Park, where the famous ticketed Tokyo Christmas Market was being held!
WHERE AND WHAT ELSE TO SEE outside winter:
We walked from Tokyo Station, but you can also walk from the opposite way from Otemachi/Yurakucho from Nijubashi Station. Other than the winter lights, the street itself is lined with numerous high-end stores and hotels, some small malls, and we saw several limousines parked and waiting to pick up their special guests. Cool street to check out even when it's not winter.
翻译:它是什么以及什么时候去:
我们是冬天去的,在星光灿烂的灯火映衬下,浪漫至极。发现灯光是从深秋(也许是 12 月初?)到 2 月(我猜也很适合情人节!)的“Marunouchi Illuminations”的一部分。同样是冬天,从下午 4 点开始天就黑了,所以最好早点去,因为从晚上 8 点开始就很冷了。
在那里做什么:
除了 1 多公里的街道(又名 Naka-dori Avenue)灯火通明,宽阔的人行道上还有很多(永久性的?)艺术雕塑,他们甚至为了冬天的特别艺术展而封锁了一些道路。我们最喜欢的是那里有来自老牌咖啡馆的临时商队摊位(有些来自这条街上的五星级酒店),在那里你可以买到你的圣诞物品,比如巧克力、德国香肠(是的,这在日本很流行) Christmas),以及适合在圣诞节期间享用的红甜酒。喝一杯不含酒精的热红酒,周围环绕着美丽的枫叶,真是太酷了,你会觉得自己在欧洲而不是在日本。哦,还有一个儿童溜冰场。只有在冬天。慢悠悠地走了 20 分钟后,我们从另一端出来,到达了日比谷公园,著名的东京圣诞集市就在这里举行!
冬天以外的地方和其他地方:
我们是从东京站步行过来的,不过也可以从二重桥站从大手町/有乐町反方向步行。除了冬天的灯光,这条街上还有许多高档商店和酒店,一些小商场,我们看到几辆豪华轿车停在那里等着接他们的贵宾。即使不是冬天,也可以去看看很酷的街道。
