Why You Should Visit

For two autumn evenings, around 4,000 bamboo lanterns line Take-no-Komichi, a walking path through the bamboo groves of Muko City. Each lantern is a section of bamboo cut from neglected groves, filled with water and topped with a floating candle, so the path glows with flickering light after dark. A food area is set up at Dai-6 Koyo Elementary School. On the same day, the Take-Musubi Festa runs at the neighbouring Rakusai Bamboo Park, so you can go straight from daytime activities to the evening lanterns. A good choice for anyone who wants an autumn dusk walk through the bamboo.
