See historic temples, shrines and gardens in the Hakata area in a different light, at night! A total of 9 sites will be artistically illuminated across four days. It’s also an opportunity to enter locations not usually open to the public. This year’s concept is “MOON”. Using scenes related to the moon as a motif, historical landscapes will be artistically transformed, allowing visitors to enjoy the fantastic atmosphere of Hakata, which is different from that of daytime. Some of the sites become busy, so arrive early to avoid queues.
