About this event

The 'Murakami Evening Bamboo Lantern Festival' is a traditional festival in Murakami City reaching its finale this year as it marks its 25th anniversary. Handmade bamboo lanterns are lined up along Kurobei Street (Anzen Koji), which exudes the atmosphere of a historic castle town, and illuminated from within.

In this final edition of the festival, supported by the community for a quarter of a century, the most beautiful and mystical lights to date will be lit in gratitude.
