The world's largest Christmas tree is lit up!

December 4, 2024 (Wednesday) 10pm

Safe this year too

In the heart of Manhattan, NY
The giant tree at Rockefeller Center on 5th Avenue has been lit up!



On a 22.6 meter live tree

55,000 LED lights

At the top
It is adorned with 3 million sparkling Swarovski crystal stars.


From now until mid-January

*Sunday - Wednesday 5am - midnight
*Thursday to Saturday: 5am to 1am
*On Christmas Day, the lights will be on for 24 hours.

December 25th is Christmas, a holiday where families get together.

Most of the stores in New York are closed.
Everywhere is silent and silent.

but,
When you come here

It's very warm and lively from morning to night.

Because tourists from all over the world flock here.

Feeling lost and lost,
When you feel lonely

Please come to this place⭐︎

I felt relieved and a smile naturally appeared on my face.
It's a hot spot that will make you happy.



This year, the world's largest and most important Christmas tree was lit up again.


The world is slowly changing

I am also grateful for the things that don't change.

Thank you for shining here unchanged since 1933.

✨HAPPY HOLIDAYS✨

<There are plenty of great deals this year in "Winter in New York"!>

The temperature in New York today is 10 degrees Celsius. It looks like March temperatures will continue for several days, which is unusual for New York, which is known for its harsh winters.

But...
Normally, in January and February in New York, the temperature drops to minus 15 degrees and there is snow, so the number of tourists drops dramatically.

No matter where you go, there are no lines and the service is slow and polite.

<On January 1, 2026, New York welcomed the New Year, 14 hours later than Japan!>

With the temperature at minus 2 degrees and snow falling,

In the heart of New York City, Times Square

This year, over one million people from all over the world gathered.

Countdown from "60"

With the famous ball drop

A ton of confetti with wishes from people all over the world written on it was thrown into the air.


Some early birds lined up for about 14 hours from the morning.

It's true that everyone wears diapers on the way because they can't go to the toilet.

but,
In the end, self-control worked in my head.

He couldn't relieve himself in his diaper,
It seems that many people just put up with it and go home.


It might be worth experiencing once in your life.


Thank you for your continued support this year!
