Akame 48 Waterfalls Valley in Nabari City, Mie Prefecture, which is about an hour from Osaka on the prefectural border with Nara, is a deep mountain valley created by the clear stream of Takikawa and a deep forest. From October 23, 2021, we will hold a light-up event “Yugen no Bamboo Akari”.
From the approximately 4km promenade that connects the waterfalls, you can see the waterfalls in the vivid scenery of the four seasons, including cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, and autumn leaves.
Selected as one of the “100 Best Waterfalls in Heisei”, “100 Best Waterfalls in Japan”, “100 Best Forest Bathing Forests”, and “100 Best Walking Walks”, you can enjoy various nature such as hiking, walking, and forest bathing.
The fantastic and warm bamboo lights, which are different from the recent illumination-centered illuminations, deliver healing lights against the backdrop of mossy valleys and falling waterfalls.
In addition to the valley area of the main venue and the area around the museum of the sub venue, a forest area will be added this year to further power up and you can enjoy various styles of bamboo lights.
During the period, there are many night shops where you can enjoy local specialties and trendy gourmet food.
In addition, the Akame Natural History Museum, which opened in March 2020, is planning to hold a handmade experience of bamboo lights and a spot sale event.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
