Nagoya turns on the lights for winter

The trees along Hirokoji Street from Sasashima Intersection outside of Nagoya Station to Hirokoji Aoi Intersection are decorated with some 460 thousand LED bulbs to illuminate nighttime winter Nagoya.
The street's brilliant lights span nearly four kilometers to illuminate statues and hand prints of eight Nobel Award winners with ties to Nagoya along the way. The lights shine late into the night, also making for a romantic walk by couples during the Christmas season.
