Visit the "Kokura Illumination 2022" - light festival, in Kokura area, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture until Feb. 14th 2023! The two main areas of the festival are the Murasaki river area and JR Kokura Station area. In total there are 20 different illumination spots in central Kokura that brighten up the cold winter nights. This time we will focus on the area around the Murasaki river, which currently got its colour from the sparkling rainbow illumination with the theme "Kibou, - Ashita wo Terasou -" (lit. Hope - let's light up tomorrow -). Walk through the tunnel of light of the Ōgai bridge, connecting Kokura City centre and the illuminated Kokura Castle, and the KOKURA monument.. Make some unforgettable winter memories and enjoy the colourful lights of the cityscape. How about ignoring the cold of winter for a little bit and go for a stroll tonight?
