Lanterns brightly decorating Chinatown
This year's Chinese New Year lantern festival will have the theme of "Auspicious Year of the Horse," and the entire city will be decorated with gorgeous illuminations.
The main dragon lantern, one of the largest in Japan, is displayed on Chinatown Boulevard, and a cute, smaller dragon also flies in the night sky over Chinatown on Shanghai Road.
Red lanterns, unique to the Chinese New Year, line the streets of Yokohama Chinatown, adding a touch of color to the cityscape.
The illuminations spread throughout Yokohama Chinatown, attracting visitors and making the winter scenery of Yokohama Chinatown even more charming.
In addition, the bright and colorful red and yellow lanterns unique to the Chinese New Year will be illuminated using environmentally friendly LEDs.
