At Showa Kinen Park on the middle day of a three-day holiday to see the autumn light-up.

Okinawa Winter Tradition "Kikumination" / In various parts of Okinawa, the chrysanthemum fields are illuminated from 11 p.m. ~ 3 p.m. every year from December ~ March. It is "electric chrysanthemum". Cultivation of chrysanthemums has become popular in conjunction with the New Year and the New Year, and the flowering time of chrysanthemums is adjusted by lighting at night. There are electric chrysanthemums on the mainland, but I hear that they are mainly House cultivation and cannot be seen from the outside. The warm Okinawan scenery and fantastic scenery will Unfolds! In Okinawa, it is called "Kikumination", which is a combination of chrysanthemums and illumination^^ Actually, I went to see it for the first time.

It seems that the lighting time is different, and I was surprised when the light bulb in the next field suddenly turned on. ^^; When you come to Visiting the site, don't Squid into the field because it's private land...

The “Welcome Shintoku Illumination” lighting began today in front of Shintoku Station. On the opening day, about 40 people, including kindergarten and nursery children from the town and their guardians, attended the lighting ceremony; when the children counted down and the lights came on together, cheers of “Wow!” broke out. The event started in 1987 (Showa 62) and was held every year until last June, when redevelopment work around Shintoku Station began and forced a cancellation last year. With the sidewalk area in front of the station now complete, the event can be held again this year. The scale is smaller than before, but we plan to expand the displays in future years as surrounding facilities are completed. As the first new addition this year, a new illuminated Ezo deer sculpture has been installed. The stag measures about 2 meters in body length and stands 2 meters tall; up close it has an impressive presence. Nearby, a doe is depicted grazing, nestled beside him. Visitors to Shintoku, please be sure to see the refreshed “Welcome Shintoku Illumination.” #Hokkaido #Tokachi #Shintoku Town #Shintoku Town Tourism Association #Shintoku Station #illumination #Welcome #Shintoku Illumination #Ezo deer #japan #hokkaido #tokachi #shintoku #welcomeshintoku #illumination #shintokustation
