Enjoying night-time scenery, especially groups of beautifully lit buildings or the entire city, has become a passion for many Japanese over the past decades.

Some attractions in and around Nagasaki, such as the Dutch village Huis Ten Bosch, also offer light decorations to attract nocturnal visitors. - Pongpet MekloyTo learn more about night-view sites in Japan and around the world, visit www.yakei.jp. photos courtesy of YAKEI Convention & Visitors BureauHuis Ten Bosch, Nagasaki.
