This autumn tradition transforms historic temples and shrines in Hakata with artistic light displays. Fifteen venues will participate over four days, including special openings of areas usually closed to the public. This year\u2019s theme, Hikari no Mori (\u201cForest of Light\u201d), creates a magical contrast to the daytime scenery. Some sites can be entered free of charge, while others require tickets valid throughout the event period (note: no re-entry at paid venues). To avoid long lines, planning a route in advance is recommended. At Kushida Shrine, visitors can also enjoy a sake tasting booth and live jazz performances from 18:00 to around 20:00.<\/p>\n
