Many people visited him 1,100 times. East wind blowed against flowers and thousands of trees and stars lighted down on the ground like rain drops at night. Only once in a while can be seen shadow of people under the light of the town.

Illumination event of “Festa Luce”, hommage of the exotic nordic festival, is held in winter season, from November to March 1, every year.

Basically, only small number of visitors visit Wakayama. The venue of “Festa Luce” is located in the European port entertainment park, the artificial island at the seashore. It reminds you of the poem written by Shin Kishitsu on new year holidays of old days, back in the period of So dynasty, at Kaifu of China. “Looking back, there was a man holding a fire lit torch.”

Works mainly in advertising and magazines on the theme of people, landscapes, and animals living in nature.

This time, he actually experienced the night time menu in Wakayama City.

When I went to the photo spot, which looked like a picture book world, I was greeted with a flood of light. The theme is fantasy, and there were three-sided projection mapping projected on the walls of the Scandinavian-like building. Marina City also has attractions such as a merry-go-round and water shots, so both children and adults can have a good time.
