Fairy Tale Village Forest Light Up 2025

A light-up event held annually from July to October. It features fantastical light objects displayed in the spacious grounds of Miyazawa Kenji Fairy Tale Village at night. By creating a space where the natural scenery of the fairy tale village and the light of the objects merge, it expresses the world of Miyazawa Kenji's works. The light-up starts at sunset, but the objects are permanently displayed during the period, allowing for a different atmosphere to be enjoyed during the day. Various events will also be held during the light-up period. ■Notes Due to weather conditions such as heavy rain or strong winds, lighting may be canceled or events may be called off.
