Sennen Akari
Countless Bamboo Lanterns Illuminate Mameda Town
Sennen Akari, the annual light festival in Hita, returns again this year. The historical streets of Mameda Town—designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings—are transformed by thousands of glowing bamboo lanterns. The warm, flickering lights create a magical nightscape that offers a completely different atmosphere from the daytime town. Enjoy a poetic and nostalgic evening as you stroll through this beautiful illumination.
