About The 32nd Kobe Luminarie
- Stay Warm: Since it is held in mid-winter, bring heavy coats, gloves, and heat packs (kairo) to stay warm while walking outdoors.
- Buy Advance Tickets: To save money, purchase advance tickets online rather than buying them at the venue on the day.
- Photography: The light art is incredibly photogenic; bring a camera to capture the stunning scenery.
- Explore the Area: Don't just stay in one spot; wander through the light-ups in the Former Foreign Settlement to see the full scale of the event.
