Set against the backdrop of the Otozure River flowing through the hot spring town, this event weaves a fantastical light display inspired by the poems of Misuzu Kaneko, a renowned children’s poet from Nagato City.
Highlights include the “UTAAKARI Gento Rondo,” a mesmerizing light performance synchronized with poetry narration, and thousands of “Akari no Utsuwa” lanterns crafted by children.
