Nagano Lantern Festival
The Nagano Lantern Festival is an event that commemorates the Nagano Winter Olympics and has been held every year since 2004. This wintry nighttime festival was founded upon the premise of the passing on Olympic aspirations for peace to future generations. The lanterns at the centerpiece of the festival disseminate this hope to the world. The year marks the 6th year since the festival’s inception.
The lantern festival has two main components. The first is the illumination of Zenkoji Temple in the five Olympic colors. The second is the “Dream Lantern Exhibition,” which features the many lanterns lining the road up to Zenkoji Temple.
