chinese lanterns and an illuminated gate ight up chinatown in yokohama japan

I found this ceremonial gate and pavilion of lanterns in Chinatown in Yokohama, Japan. It's one of my favorite places to shoot at night in Yokohama, thanks to all the illuminated signs and decorations. It's particularly fun in the rain when the lights reflect off the wet pavement.
