The entire hot spring town becomes one enormous stage, allowing visitors to stroll between four beautifully illuminated areas.

Dedicated to the founder of Jozankei Onsen, this atmospheric shrine is illuminated by 100 traditional Japanese lanterns lining its approach.

The shrine building also becomes the canvas for a spectacular projection-mapping show, enhanced by modern lighting and mist effects. Together, they transform the grounds into a mysterious world that feels far removed from everyday life.

(At night, entry is limited to guests staying at accommodations in Jozankei Onsen.)

With a history stretching back around 90 years, Iwato Kannon-do Hall takes on an especially peaceful beauty after dark.

Around 100 softly glowing lanterns and carefully designed illuminations highlight the historic structure, creating a solemn yet calming atmosphere.

Jozankei Gensen Park recreates the natural landscape said to have greeted the founder of the hot spring resort when he first arrived.

Around 200 lanterns cast a warm glow across the grounds. Visitors can also soak their feet in a natural footbath fed by hot spring water from the Toyohira River while enjoying the surrounding lights.

Located near the entrance to the hot spring town, this welcoming footbath is an ideal place to rest after a day of exploring.

As you soak tired feet, enjoy an original digital art display by NAKED that responds to and blends with the surrounding natural scenery.

Whether you have just finished a traditional ryokan dinner or stepped out of a soothing hot spring bath, this event offers the perfect excuse to put on a yukata and wander through Jozankei on a cool summer or autumn evening.
