About this spot
The riverside plaza of Ishikawa Shopping Street (石川商店街 / Eye Canal Street) along the Nakamura River, near Ishikawacho Station, is wrapped in the warm glow of lanterns. It typically runs from early November to December 25; last year's dates were November 9 to December 25, 2025 (in 2024 it ran November 11 to December 25). The 2026 dates and lighting hours have not yet been announced, so please check the official website before you go. Since it's a shopping street plaza, viewing is free at any time, and the lanterns reflected on the river's surface make for a gentle, old-town winter scene.
