Jozankei Nature Luminarie.

This probably is the latest news on my blog, I post this at 10/25/2016 if you read this post at this date, means you still have about 5 days chance to visit this wonderful Jozankei Nature Luminarie. The Jozankei Onsen is currently celebrating their 150th anniversary and they are lighting up the forest park, from the Futami Koen until the Futami bridge, Opening every evening on 6/1-10/31 this year.

The sign board at the entrance.

You can take a walk leisurely in the romantic lighting forest with kinds of flowers. Enjoy the combination of nature and science while wearing a Kimono. This is the first year that Jozankei Nature Luminarie is being held by the Jozankei Onsen organization, I hope they will do it for the second time.

Light welcoming on the ground,
The great Kappa king is at behind.

When you enter the entrance of the Futami park, there is a light on the ground welcoming you, showing you the name, event, and the host by the fascinating light and flowers introducing you the initiation point of the park illumination.As you go through the park, you will be surrounded by the romantic light along your way, leading you deep into the "Corridor of light", excitement all along the way.

The corridor of light.

After you have gone through the "Corridor of light", you will end up appear in the "Forest of light", where you can see illuminated flowers which created by the optical fiber, the light will sure catch your eyes and claiming that they are very beautiful, just like a place where fairies are living. This place is so attractive until it makes me lose the sense of time, when I realized, it is late already, quickly take some picture at the front of the flower garden and head to the next place.

The best place to take a picture, the bench in front of the flower garden.

The Illuminated flower will guide you to the Futami bridge, where is the end of the illumination area. The light on the bridge is activated by the sensor, which will light up your path at the moment you step on the bridge, furthermore, decorate your path with the lovely atmosphere, transform the bridge into a new look and new image.

Light up when you go to another side then turn back.

Just outside the Futami park, you could see a lot of roadside stall, they are selling snacks and souvenir, eat something before head back to the inn.
