Since 2005, the Hana Touro event has been held in the winter season in the Arashiyama district and many people enjoy visiting such awesome magic colors of the night view.
The festival begins from 11th of Friday until 20th of Sunday.
Illumination Hours: 5:00pm to 8:30pm (it goes even in rain)
For ten days, Arashiyama will be featured by combination of ground lanterns and ikebana artwork.
Also Japanese music performances and mini-concerts, with guitars and the ancient Shaku-hachi flute, will also form part of the event highlights.
Enjoy strolling through the 5.2km path from Horin-ji Temple, over Togetsukyo Bridge, through the Tenryu-ji Temple area. The surrounding temples, shrines, and cultural facilities will hold special viewings and illumination events. Very exotic and romantic!!!
