Machinaka Light Display—A winter tradition in Tahara

The Machinaka Light Display is back again! Gaze upon Tahara's city center around Mikawatahara Station as it shines in brilliant colors. A huge Christmas tree appears at Centfare Mall and the trees along Hanatoki-dori Street, Chuo Plaza, the street outside the station, and LaLaGran take on a beautiful glow.
Come see the city of Tahara as it fully embraces the Christmas spirit!
