Everyone thinks of orange lights when it comes to Tokyo Tower but did you know that it lights up pink every year on October 1st? The glowing, pink Tokyo Tower is the ultimate in romantic! Today I am going to tell you about the beautifully pink, slightly sexy, Tokyo Tower that happens only once a year.
Tokyo Tower Goes Pink Only Once a Year!
Did you know that on certain days, for certain reasons, Tokyo Tower changes its color? Every year on October 1st, Tokyo Tower becomes a bright pink.
So then why on this day does it turn pink? In connection with the “pink ribbon,” it’s there to teach people about the importance of early breast cancer detection and treatment and so it’s specially lit up. On normal days, the tower is lit from sunset until 10:00PM but the pink lights go from 6:45 until 10:00 PM. (*From sunset until 6:45PM it’s lit-up like normal.)
They use pink-colored search lights around Tokyo Tower to illuminate it. It looks better at a slight distance, rather than looking straight down from Tokyo Tower!
Tokyo Tower goes blue every November 14th as a symbol on the importance of diabetes prevention and treatment. The vivid blue has just as much impact and is also worth seeing.
