Luminarie, Kobe


Luminarie(ルミナリエ) is one of memorial events for Hanshin-Awaji (阪神・淡路) earthquake in 1995.
Over six thousand people were died by the earth quake, so the earthquake were pretty huge one in Japanese desaster history. Luminarie is lighting event in Sanomiya, Kobe, since 1995, but actually Seoul, Korea also has the same kind oflighting event on Dec. Anyway many people will come to the event, especially saturday and sunday. If you have a chance, I will recommend to visit during weekdays.
