\"Tokyo<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, President Obama has arrived in Japan (and apparently already enjoyed the legendary sushi at\u00a0Sukiyabashi Jiro<\/a>), and with all the buzz and\u00a0tightened security<\/a>\u00a0accompanying his visit, it\u2019s hard not to get a little excited. Well, it seems even one of the landmark symbols of Tokyo, the Tokyo Tower, is getting all dressed up to welcome Mr. Obama. For two nights only, the 333m (1093ft) tall tower will be illuminated in the red, white and blue colors of the American flag!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, in honor of the President\u2019s visit, for the nights of April 22 and 23, Tokyo Tower will be lit up in bright Star-Spangled Banner colors\u00a0from sundown (around 6:20pm) to midnight. Naturally, we wanted to get a look at the special red white and blue version of the tower, and take some pictures to share with you as well. We hurried off to the\u00a0Tokyo City View Sky Deck<\/a>\u00a0in Roppongi, where we were able to take the pictures below:<\/p>\n
