The beautiful Luminarie is a symbol of restoring and reconstruction of Kobe after 1995's Great Hanshin Earthquake. It has been held every year in the December since 1996. Volunteers decorate the Luminarie with different designs every year. People will line up in front of the grand Luminarie for the witness of the light up before 6pm.
Before
After
The moment of the light up is unforgettable and worth for whole life remembrance. At that moment, you will hear people's applause and feel moved from it. People head to the Luminarie and cross from gate to gate of the Luminarie.
2nd Luminarie
only up no down- notice those people in the photo:)
It looks like a type of mosque design in Malaysia. I feel it is so familiar to me at the first time I saw this.
