Once Japan enters the depths of winter, cities across the country are adorned with dazzling lights on the streets, filled with a festive Christmas atmosphere, and the joyful jingling of holiday tunes can be heard everywhere. Although snow-covered white Christmases are rare in Kyushu, the dazzling lights and festive ambiance are enough to enchant anyone.

Starting from the end of November through early March every year, Huis Ten Bosch is transformed into a vibrant wonderland of colorful lights, becoming one of the most dazzling destinations in all of Japan. Aiming to be the world’s premier light festival, the illumination at Huis Ten Bosch grows more spectacular each year. In 2012, the display featured as many as 10 million bulbs, with illuminated European-style buildings and a sea of lights creating a romantic atmosphere that feels like stepping into a dreamlike fantasy.

The 234-meter-tall Fukuoka Tower is made up of over 8,000 mirrored panels. During the day, they reflect the blue sky and white clouds, while at night, the ever-changing light show dazzles the eyes. To date, it has attracted over 10 million visitors. Starting from late November each year, the tower is decorated with 100,000 lights, creating a magical kingdom full of romance.
