Tips
荒天時は中止・順延になる場合があるため、当日は上越市や主催団体の発表で開催可否を確認しましょう。山あいの夜は涼しくなるため、羽織ものを忘れずに。終了後は帰りの道が混み合うため、時間差での移動がおすすめです。
Tips
Please observe temple etiquette and view the grounds quietly. In summer, even in the mountains the sun is strong, so remember to stay hydrated.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour required. The temple grounds surrounded by trees remain relatively cool even in summer.
