It is held in the middle of December at around the East amusement park in kobe and about five million people visit there every year.Have you seen this before?I have been to see it once when I was elementary school student.I remember clearly that it was so beautiful★At the beginning,we walk into the tunnel made of lot of bulbs and finally we arrive at a circle of lights you can see it with the photo above. I felt as if I entered a different world when I was walking the road.
This event was held,at first,in December,1995 to memorialize victims of a strong earthquake called "Hanshin-awaji daishinsai"which happened on January 17th, 1995. It has been held since then every December.It was designed by Valerio Festi,an artdirecter in Italy,and Hirokazu Imaoka,a producer in Japan.There is one theme each year such as "Fascination of the sky"theme in 2006. "Luminarie"means illumination using small bulbs in Italian.
Please go to official site of Luminarie if you wanna see other details or you wanna watch former pieces in 2005 and 2004 etc.
What I was surprise at is that using too many lights for it(I did not know how many lights are used)They say that the charge for electricity of it is about ten million yen.That's so surprising!!
Finally,I'll show you a beautiful illumination!!Enjoy watching★+゜
That's so nice,isn't it?If you wanna watch other images,you can use YouTube to see them taken by the visitors!!

I did not know that there is a theme every year.I know the event but I've never been because I had lived in Fukuoka. Kobe is near from Osaka, so I wanna go there in this year.
I didn't know it's been held for "hanshin awaji earthquake" .
I was in Kyushu.. So I don't know what it was like to be hit by such a huge earthquake. Were you scared???
