While the Christmas fever here Japan is predominantly commercial, there is no lacking in Christmas lights and illuminations.

One of Matsue‘s more impressive places to view a Christmas light-up, is Vogel Park, a bird and flower park.

Candles of love hearts bring out the romance in the holiday

And a little antler-clad toddler is enthralled by the light

And plenty of people capturing the glow in the enchantingly lit-up greenhouse~

More pictures from around the garden~

Merry Christmas!
