As the weather cools down, a wide variety of illumination events begin to pop up at various locations across Japan. One such event is the Sky Lantern Festival at Wakayama Marina City, which is set to run on three Saturdays in late November and early December – November 19th, November 26th, and December 3rd.
At each event, up to 800 glowing lanterns will be released, and they need to be reserved by attendees in advance. This can be organized via the official event website – just be sure to choose the correct date that you want to attend!
