Nighttime illumination festival along Beppu waterfront and city streets — vibrant LED displays, decorated trees and festive installations that contrast with steam from nearby hot springs. Best photographed at blue hour through late evening; accessible on foot from Beppu Station with limited street parking. Expect crowds on weekends in December; dress warm and combine shots with onsen steam for local context.
