A wintertime illumination event has started in Kabukicho, a nightlife district in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward that was hit hard by the economic impact of the coronavirus.
About 120,000 LED lights on roadside trees were lit on Monday evening in front of the Shinjuku ward office to kick off the event.
After making gyoza dumplings at a Chinese restaurant, an 83-year-old woman heads to Tokyo's Kabukicho red-light district where she dons a long, curly blond wig, witch's hat and sunglasses.
