Wakayama Castle Drone Show: WAKAYAMA LIGHTS 2026

About this event

Set against the backdrop of Wakayama Castle, "WAKAYAMA LIGHTS 2026" will be held featuring a record-breaking 1,000 drones lighting up the night sky. With the historic fortress deeply tied to the Toyotomi brothers in the background, this light spectacle woven by cutting-edge drone technology is truly breathtaking. Entry restrictions may be implemented before and after the show around the castle tower and Sunanomaru Square and its vicinity. Additionally, the show may be cancelled depending on the day's weather, with an alternate backup date scheduled. Reserving spots in advance within the park and surrounding areas is prohibited, and attendees are asked to be considerate so that as many people as possible can view the show within the limited space. Concurrently, "Wakayama Castle: Night of Light and Fantasy" will be held at Wakayama Castle's Ninomaru Garden, featuring light displays expressing Wakayama's nature and charm, along with a mystical ambiance where giant whales and fish swim through a sea of clouds created by light and mist.
