While city dwellers in Tokyo and Osaka have numerous options for holiday illuminations, those of us in Kumamoto flock to the Saishunkan company's light extravaganza at their Hilltop location just outside the city. Covering over a hundred acres, the company picks different themes every year - this season, the decorations included a flying train, an undersea theme, Cinderella and her castle and the ever-popular light tunnel. Visit the Saishunkan website for more information on visiting the illuminations.
