Illuminations event "Hikari no Machi HAKATA" (lit.: Hakata, the City of Light) will be starting again this year at the commercial complex JR Hakata City centered around JR Hakata Station. Under the theme of "Glow alive", this year the area around the station square is transformed into a romantic spot with about 800,000 LED lights! There are plenty of breathtaking light monuments including the symbolic Christmas tree with a height of 14.9m that will certainly catch your attention, "Stardust Wave" where each grain of the starry sky shines, a Tiara-shaped flowerbed "Flower Tiara", and "Wish Flower" which looks like a huge bouquet!
There will also be a Christmas market where you can enjoy shopping for delicious food and cute miscellaneous goods in the glittering illuminations until 25th of December (Sat) so be sure to stop by!
