About this event
Set at the World Heritage site "Hana-no-Iwaya," this event creates a fantastical night by lighting approximately 300 bamboo lanterns and candles. A light-up of the goshintai (sacred rock) will also take place, allowing visitors to enjoy a mystical atmosphere. At the venue, Otsuna Chaya will operate as a rest area with light snacks available for purchase. The fireworks display held last year will not take place. Admission is free.
