Festive illuminations are now shining at temporary housing in Fukushima Prefecture, northern Japan, to help raise the spirits of evacuees of the March 2011 disaster.
The lights were switched on in the parking lot of the housing in Minamisoma City, on Sunday, ahead of the winter holiday season. The facility is home to more than 570 households.
About 30,000 LED lights decorating a 5-meter tower and 2 arches sparkled into life after a countdown ceremony.
A 66-year-old woman said living in the temporary housing for a long period of time is hard. But she said the illuminations help ease her mind and encourage her to work hard to return home.
The lighting organizer, Masataka Watanobe, said he has mixed feelings about holding the event for the 3rd year. But he said he hopes the illuminations will bring cheer to the evacuees.
The lighting display will remain through January 12th.
