The Himeji Castle Fantasy Illumination takes on the theme of “Four Seasons Fantasia Hitotose” this year. “Hitotose” is an archaic way to say “one year”.

The entertainment will consist of LED lights, smoke machines, and balloons set to original music composed for the event.

The light-up will take place in the square in the Sannomaru part of the castle.
