(Last admission: 8:30 PM)

Venue:

Gifu Park (1 Omiya-cho, Gifu City)

/ Shoho-ji Temple (8 Daibutsu-cho, Gifu City)

Gifu Park, at the foot of Mount Kinka where Gifu Castle stands, and Shoho-ji Temple, home to the Gifu Great Buddha, one of the Three Great Buddhas of Japan, serve as the stage for this event. In addition to illuminations using the light of Gifu Japanese umbrellas and Gifu lanterns, both nationally designated traditional crafts, projection mapping inspired by Gifu City's unique traditional culture, including Nagara River cormorant fishing (ukai), its clear waters, and folding-screen paintings, is projected onto features such as the garden rock walls of the Ruins of Oda Nobunaga's Palace Residence, the site of Lord Oda Nobunaga's mansion, creating a fantastical world.

Please enjoy this fantastical night woven together by Gifu City's traditional crafts and light,
projection mapping, and a sea of clouds.
