I think this year's Christmas displays in the shopping malls and department stores in the city centre have become more elaborate and expensive looking. Maybe our economy has finally taken off after three decades of depression, or are they just a bluff for foreign tourists?

Iwataya 1

Iwataya 2

This department store used to hang old DVDs on naked trees , which looked rather miserable. 

Solaria Plaza

Tenjin Chika-gai.  I like this the best so far this year.

Bank of Fukuoka, headquarters

Shinten-Cho shopping street

Vioro Shopping mall. 

Kego Park. I remember there used to be a skating rink at this time of the year.
