The art collective NAKED are doing what they do best and turning another historical landmark into a fun, festival paradise.
What happens?
Similar to the spring event held at Nijō Castle, there will be projection mapping, illuminations, and explanations in five languages. There will be a summer theme throughout, with virtual fireworks and traditional festival food stalls.
The last entry is 9:20 p.m.
