Kobe Municipal Fruit & Flower Park is lit up with 3 million LED lights as part of the Kobe Illuminage 2011 event.
As the name suggests the main theme of the park is fruits and flowers. This park which is laid out in the form of a medieval European castle provides wonderful facilities like a public bathhouse, a swimming pool, ice skating and lush gardens filled with multi-hued flowers and juicy fruits.
The children will love to loiter and play in the park. What can be more delighting than spending some time amid the enthralling natural surroundings and pick seasonal fruits like peaches, pears, grapes, chestnuts, apples and apricots.
The display continues through Jan 17.

Every year since her adoptive mother’s death, she has held a concert on August 20th in her memory. Now she is singing not only for her mother, but also for people who listen to her songs, wishing for world peace. Kawashima has also helped to establish schools in poor countries, 3 schools have already been built, her goal is to build 100 schools.
Before she became famous, she set herself the goal of performing 1000 times on the street, finally accomplishing this after she became well known.
