About this event

Gifu Akari Monogatari 2027, an illumination event unique to Gifu City, will be held. Featuring enchanting light displays using national traditional crafts such as Gifu Japanese umbrellas and Gifu lanterns, projection mapping images inspired by Gifu City's traditional culture—including Gifu Nagaragawa cormorant fishing, pure streams, and folding screen paintings—will be projected onto locations like the rock walls of the garden at Nobunaga's Residence Ruins, set in Gifu Park at the foot of Mount Kinka crowned by Gifu Castle, and Shoho-ji Temple where the Gifu Great Buddha, one of Japan's Three Great Buddhas, is enshrined.
