Illuminated gareway and other objects

By the entrance to the venue there will be a brightly illuminated gate made up of various shapes and objects set up as for optimal photo taking. An enormous Japanese style lantern that measures 2.5 meters x 2.5 meters has a nostalgic charm for Japanese visitors, and will truly make foreign visitors feel the exotic feel that is unique to Japanese style night markets. There are also plans to place two large illuminated objects inside the venue itself (tentative). The soothing light of these shapes will help turn this former courthouse into a brilliant sight to behold.
