This event began with the hope of using the cold climate and nature of the Suwa region to purify Lake Suwa and revitalize the community. It now marks its 31st year.
With participation from residents of six cities and towns, the motto is “Let’s create it together! Let’s light it together! Let’s connect with the town!” as we aim to build towns and people who love their local area. While showcasing and sharing the charms of the Suwa region, about 20,000 lights will connect towns and people to convey the spirit of the Suwa Country Winter Thanksgiving.
Let’s create it together! Let’s light it together! Let’s connect with the town!
Come spend an evening in the magical Suwa region for one night only.
Event date: Saturday, February 1, 2025, from 5:00 PM (17:00)
Location: Lights will be lit at various sites across the six Suwa municipalities
