Various lights from ENEOS Corp.’s oil refinery glow at night in Arida, Wakayama Prefecture. Enthusiasts of such views are visiting the site to snap photos ahead of the refinery’s scheduled closure at the end of October. Though the view of the many twinkling lights from the refinery has been popular on social media, some of the lights will be turned off from November.
