At "Hikari no Machi, Hakata," the square in front of JR Hakata Station is adorned with a magical illumination. Highlights include the sparkling stars under the large roof, the glowing symbol tree, and the forest of lights. The newly added pedestrian deck and light gate, decorated with LEDs, are also appealing, and the reflections on the ground on rainy days are stunning. This event, as every year, is more lively with the simultaneous holding of the Christmas market, and the nearby TENJIN CHRISTMAS MARKET and CHRISTMAS MARKET in Passage add to the excitement. From the light gate installed in 2023, you have a view of the tree in front, making it an especially recommended photo spot. When visiting, targeting a rainy night allows for capturing more enchanting photos. This free event will be an unforgettable experience for families and couples alike.
