2026 Tondabayashi Toriuchi Lantern Path - Full Day Enjoyment Course
A one-day course featuring the Tondabayashi Toriuchi Lantern Path (held August 22, 2026) at the center, set in the Tondabayashi temple town selected as a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings. During the day, touch the historic townscape at Kōshōji Betsu-in and the Jinaimachi Exchange Hall at the center of the temple town, gaze up at the PL Peace Tower rising on a hill, and cool off and rest in the lush Nishikori Park. With the lighting starting at 6:30 PM, stroll through the temple town illuminated by lantern light along with food stalls and shrine fair booths - a day to enjoy the quiet and atmospheric evening of the temple town, different from daytime.
