Kobe Illuminage

Kobe Illuminage runs from late October through February at Kobe Fruit and Flower Park, covering the grounds with around five million LED lights across light tunnels, illuminated forests, and themed zones. The park's European-style architecture, modeled after a medieval village, gives the whole thing a slightly different texture from Kobe's downtown Luminarie event. Recent editions have added drone shows above the illuminated grounds. During the day, the park's Fruit Kingdom zone offers seasonal fruit picking and fresh juice, and multiple restaurants serve warm drinks suited to cold evenings. The hillside location puts Kobe's city lights on the horizon behind you as you walk through the grounds.
