Zojoji and Tokyo Tower
Zojoji temple is not often open to the public at night. Sitting at the foothills of Tokyo Tower, it lives in contrast to the new world that has surrounded it. Every now and then, the old and new meet, lit up brilliantly against the backdrop of Roppongi. This June, they celebrated with the Candle Night for a Million People.
Fortunately, the crowd was more manageable than the name suggests, yet still dense enough to feel like a special occasion. As the newly turned summer sky, on the longest day of the year, gave way to night, the candles were lit and Tokyo Tower’s own illumination glowed. Not a bad sight indeed.
