The Nara Tokae festival is a fairly new ten-day event, having started in 1999. Over twenty-thousand candles are lit and placed inside plastic canisters, which are in turn arranged in interesting patterns throughout Nara Park and its surroundings. The patterns may depict a river flowing, or more conventional love heart or star shapes. Other times they are simply used to illuminate the existing structures, such as Ukimido (the hexagonal gazebo in the middle of Sagi Pond). Recent changes have been made to improve the eco-friendliness of this event. For example, the candles have been changed from typical paraffin candles to more natural materials, not least because famed Nara deer may try to nibble them.
The festival held on August 5 – 14 | 7 – 9:45 pm. Should you'll be there before sunset for better time.
