Leading Light: Imperial Palace Gate Glows for Emperor Akihito

Joggers approach the Sakurada-mon Gate on Dec. 20 after it was illuminated during a trial run for a nightly event to begin Dec. 23. The famed Sakurada-mon Gate of the Imperial Palace basked in a serene glow as it was illuminated for the first time in preparation for Emperor Akihito's 84th birthday on Dec. 23, a public holiday. The gate, an important cornerstone of the Kokyo Gaien national gardens in front of the palace, and one of those remaining from the old Edo Castle that housed the Tokugawa Shogunate, will be lit up between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. through Jan. 7.
