Caretta Illumination is being held in Caretta Shiodome every year and no admission, means FREE.

Second spot is Illumination at Roppongi Midtown, which can be accessed
around 7 min walk from Roppongi Station on Oedo Line, through exit 7 or 8.
This illumination event attract so many visitors every year.
Roppongi Midtown illumination can be enjoyed from 17:00 until 23:00.
Also, you can see Tokyo Tower from here.
This event will be held until Dec 25. However, as Dec 25 is Christmas

so it’s better to visit Roppongi Midtown before Dec 24 so you can enjoy the illumination on your phase.

The third spot is in Tokyo Dome City, that can be accessed by 5 min walk
from Suidobashi Station on JR Chuo Sobu Line or Korakuen Station on Marunouchi or Namboku Line.
