Illumination Expo: Hokusetsu's largest summer festival

Expo Commemoration Park
Expo Summer Festival 2023
Illuminate Expo

On August 4th, I visited "Illuminate Expo," part of the "Expo Summer Festival 2023" held at Expo Commemoration Park.
The illuminated Tower of the Sun and the colorfully lit lanterns create a fantastical atmosphere.

Expo Summer Festival 2023 runs until the end of August, so if you're considering attending, be sure to do so early!
