Yasuda Castle Tsukimi no Utage
On nights when a thousand lights shimmer on the water, Yasuda Castle is at its most beautiful.
At the end of summer, on the night when Yasuda Castle ruins are at their most beautiful—"Yasuda Castle Tsukimi no Utage."
The procession of boys and girls dressed as warriors, which begins as dusk falls, is so majestic that it's as if a scene from a Sengoku period picture scroll has been brought back to life.
The subsequent sword dance and Yosakoi performances will add to the lively atmosphere of the historic castle ruins.
As the sun sets, more than a thousand lanterns are softly lit,
The shimmering light on the moat's surface transforms the entire castle ruins into a fantastical world.
Walking along a path illuminated by lamplight in the quiet night is a special experience, as if you're traveling through time.
The climax of the night is fireworks blooming gently in the summer sky.
The warm, handcrafted atmosphere created by the local people, combined with the stage setting imbued with history,
You can enjoy a unique "moon-viewing night" at Yasuda Castle.
