See Iiyama in a different light

See Iiyama in a different light at our annual Lantern Festival. Over 15,000 lanterns (handmade using Iiyama's uchiyama paper) will light up the city, and traditional shops and festival carts will line the bustling streets.

This year the festival will be held on August 11, which is right in the middle of Nagano's Shinshu destination campaign. There will be plenty of campaign activities to do around town before the festival, including rafting, hiking, and soba making!
