Yakage Summer Lantern Festival

The old post town on the Sanyo Road, Yakage-juku. About 150 lanterns adorned with paper cuttings and calligraphy representing the charm of Yakage are hung in the Yakage Shopping Street (Honjindori), which retains the atmosphere of the Edo period and is a national important traditional building preservation area. The scene of the soft lights illuminating the streets evokes a sense of travel. ■Notes "Yakage Folk Dance Photo Contest" will be held simultaneously!
