Light and Blossoms Pathway

Taking advantage of the nature, waterfront, bamboo forest and historical cultural assets of the Saga Arashiyama region, walkway totaling approximately 5.2 km is rendered from the light of open air lanterns, whose shades and shadows imbue Japanese sentiment, and the blossoms of voluminous flower arrangement pieces. The created effect is a pathway that naturally beckons one to walk.

All Bamboo Forest
Walkways Illuminated

Both sides of walkways will be lit up from Nonomiya-jinjya Shrine to Okouchi Sanso Villa, rendering a fantastical scene.

Entire Togetsukyo Bridge Area Illuminated

Illuminating Togetsukyo Bridge, foothills and waterfront, a magnificently beautiful natural night scene is rendered.

Flower Arrangement Promenade

With cooperation from Kyoto Ikebana Association, voluminous flower arrangement pieces will be on display along the light and blossoms pathway.

Big student performers gathering

Student performers from Kyoto and other university towns will be recruited to give street performances at Nakanoshima Park to provide more color and life to the hanatouro (flower lanes) event.

Stamp Rally

The Stamp Rally was held last year for the first time, and many participants took part in the event. This year, like last year, the Stamp Rally will be held. Please enjoy getting stamps from each place as you walk around the vicinity.
