Gorgeous illuminations have helped create a fairy tale-like experience at the commercial facility Canal City Hakata! The special "Canal Christmas Magic" campaign will run until Tuesday 25th December!

The "Christmas Panorama - Santa Claus is coming to canal -" attraction fuses together lights, sounds, water fountains, and one of the largest project mapping systems in Japan, "Canal Aqua Panorama". Visitors will love the huge images of Santa featured in the video footage! Enjoy the spectacle from the upper levels of the bowl-shaped auditorium or take in the full-force of the performance from right in front the Sun Plaza Stage! Make sure to check-out the sight of snow falling at the end of the production! It is a real must-see! The masterpiece "Time To Say Goodbye" is played as an accompaniment to the stunning illuminations and fountain displays! Please check the official website (>>HERE) for more details about the schedule!

The lighting has created Instagram-worthy spots all over the facility. Look upwards after the sun has gone down for a great view of the ornately decorated "Chisiki no Ki (lit. the Tree of Knowledge)" and the sparkling gates inside the mall. The star-filled atmosphere inside the golden "dome" is also a highly impressive! Strolling through the illuminations is incredibly romantic! There are benches dotted along the canal, which are perfect if you have a drink in your hand and are looking for somewhere to stop for a chat with a close one! If you are planning to watch a movie or go shopping in Canal City Hakata over the next couple of weeks, make sure to take in the magical atmosphere created by the fantastic illuminations before you head home!(Editorial Dept.: Gon)
