2026 Hataya Castle Lantern Floating

About this event

Set at the ruins of Hataya Castle, which was a fierce battlefield during the Keicho Dewa Battle, a lantern floating event will be held to commemorate the victims. Illumination with LED lights will also take place, creating a mystical atmosphere. In addition, continuing from last year, visitors can enjoy the storytelling performance "Keicho Dewa Battle" by kodan storyteller Ichiryusai Sadatoshi. The kodan storytelling begins at 16:00, and the lantern floating starts at 18:00. Viewing the lantern floating is free, but an additional fee is required for those who wish to float a paper lantern. Parking is available around the venue, but visitors must follow the directions of parking attendants. Information regarding event cancellations and other updates will be announced on the official website "Welcome to Sakudani-sawa."
