If you want to see the most beautiful light show in the world, then you only have to go to Japan and only to the light festival, which takes place in the city of Kuwana. One of the features and huge advantages of the festival is that it runs from mid-November to mid-March.
This incredibly beautiful festival is held in a blooming park with colorful trees and rather big greenhouses. The park is open from 9 am to 9 pm and there are always a lot of people there, and not only tourists love to visit this amazing place, but also many locals walk in the park every year. After all, every year there everything changes and everything is new. One of the most significant and traditional places is the "tunnel of light". Every year they come up with different light performances, such as "sunset over Mount Fuji", "winter illuminations" and much more. If you can isolate yourself from the noise of people, then you will find yourself, as if on another planet. After all, everything looks completely different there, absolutely everything is covered with light, even water. Fairy tale festival with fabulous emotions. It really is a place worth visiting for everyone.
