Kobe's Luminarie -- Kobe lights up one section of the city in Christmas lights, all pretty-like. I went with some of my Kansai Gaidai buddies. Kobe is about an hour or two away from Osaka. And I guess it's not technically a Christmas event, but it looks like one. The Japanese don't really do Christmas like back in the States, it's more of a commercial holiday than anything. Which...I guess is basically the same as back home.
