Jingle, bells! Jingle, bells! Jingle all the way♪
Christmas atmosphere start floating around NSTC! 
The photos below are the Christmas illumination of the pier across the bay in front of NSTC in Wakamatsu-ku.
It cannot compare with the Luminarie or the illumination at huis Ten Bosch, but I prefer the illumination here in Kitakyushu. 
The brightness and the color of lights are nice and mild. 
An illumination of “WAKAPPA”, a mascot character of Wakamatsu-ku, is included in those lovely light arts.
WAKAPPA is a kappa (The “kappa” is a mischievous water goblin of Japanese folklore.) in the motif of tomato. 
Please refer to the website for the detail.

It’s lovely local news from Yohei, who had been deeply soaked in water these three days.
I’m in some ways like “KAPPA”…
