Name: Harimacho Illumination Location: JR Tsuchiyama Station South Exit Rotary Address: Kitanozoe 2, Harimacho, Hyogo Prefecture It was a surreal sight of Yayoi people and illuminations. The watchtower is a mechanical clock, so depending on the time, you can see music and a mechanism that makes the Yayoi people move. The illuminations are beautiful, but the impact of the Yayoi people was so strong that I felt a mysterious feeling from start to finish😊 #tripmemory2022 #illumination
