Last part of illumination - Hakata Station

At the Hakata station, main train station from Fukuoka they also did some illuminations with a giant christmas tree

They also put some lights in all the trees

and fountains around

This is just magic at night!
And since it is still not so cold you can enjoy it as much as you want!

In the sideways they put some light that change their colors

And this is an upper view of the tree

After that direction canal city again to see again these beautiful balls

I just love them :-)

And this is an outside view of canal city a shopping mall actually

And to finish the day some ramen to keep you warm!

Illumination festival 2nd part

At christmas time Fukuoka is full of lights!

And the trees put their bright clothes on!

And since I had some ticket left I went to another temple to see the illuminations

In this one you are given a light to carry on with you

And the color of the light is changing with the color of the temple
This was just fantastic, like in a dream

This one is also one of my favorite picture with the 2 colors!

Illumination Festival

This Friday there is an illumination festival in Fukuoka
So the temples are getting some colors

In this one the color was changing all the time

And of course because we are in Japan the food is everywhere
This one is red bean soup with moshi, I love it!

And this one was my favorite illumination

They actually put color on the sand

and it looks like a wave just like in a dream

This was some painting inside the temple

And outside some char for the matsuri (festival)

Not part of the illumination festival but I thought it past very well!

In this temple you have some illuminated umbrellas

Also very romantic!

And after that of course food food food!

 Salad!

Chicken

Moshi soup

Vongole and I am an happy girl

And once again I have received some many presents from my friends!
Book and food

Cute towel

And my own post office!

So great, thanks to all!
See you next time!

And my last time at this tournament

So today was the day before the final day and once again it was a lot of pleasure.
This time I have decided to spend some times downstairs and I couldn't resist to this one!

Kotooshu now retired and helping at the tournament

Gagamaru with is Georgian belt

And in Fukuoka what I like is that you can see the sumos preparing for their fight

And the judges before or after the fight!

I can't remember or see who was fighting but I like the end!

Kyokutenho, the Mongolian, just love the face he is doing every time!

My favorite Tochinoshin, who is doing a great return after his injury, won against Myogiru

I love the kiss face of Osunaarashi the Egyptian

And his spectacular win!

I guess it has hurt a lot!

This one is not better between Kaisei and Goeido

Ichinojo the Mongolian star beating Kisenosato

And of course the strong Hakuho beating Harumafuji, I love is laughing face at that moment.

And at last Kakuryu doing his job against Kotoshogiku
Well if you don't have enough here is more: Fukuoka basho day 14
Enjoy :-)
