Well really a drizzle, but I walked about a kilometer from Sakai Station to get here. I'm on my way to Kansai Airport from Kobe with lots of time to kill, so this place was definitely going to be a stop. Beautiful at night lightly lit as it is, it's quite close to an elevated roadway so maybe that's where the soft glow is coming from. Whatever's doing it makes it amazing. I'm so happy I got to see this. This is the last bit of beauty on my six week journey I'll see before I go to Hawaii. I'm coming back to Japan soon for more of it.
