The Yamaguchi Tanabata Chochin Festival has been held for about 600 years.
Tens of thousands of red lanterns attached to bamboo sway gently, enveloping the streets in a fantastical light.
What’s surprising is that all these countless lanterns are lit by real candle flames!
Unlike electric lights, they flicker softly, gently illuminating the town.
Please come to Yamaguchi!
Location: Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture
