Tawaramoto 70th Merger Anniversary Event & Lantern Festival

About this event

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the merger of Tawaramoto Town, a special event will be held where sky lanterns filled with wishes for the future light up the night sky. Participants can freely draw pictures, patterns, or messages for the future on lanterns using their favorite colors. Art supplies are provided at the venue, allowing everyone to spend an unforgettable time as their personally crafted lanterns soar into the night sky. Admission and viewing are free, but participation in the sky lantern release requires advance registration and costs 1,000 yen (tax included) per lantern. It is limited to the first 180 lanterns on a first-come, first-served basis and has reached the scheduled sales capacity (sold out). On the day of the event, following the lantern painting and writing of wishes, a lighting ceremony will take place, and mystical sky lanterns will illuminate the night sky. The event will proceed in light rain but will be cancelled in case of stormy weather.
