Why You Should Visit

A summer night when about 1,000 paper lanterns light the streets of Tondabayashi's Jinaimachi, a temple-town district with 460 years of history and rows of Edo-period townhouses. Residents, shopkeepers and children light each lantern by hand from around 18:30, wrapping the white walls and wooden lattices in soft light. Side programmes include the Mido Toro at Koshoji Betsuin temple, a special showing of the Sugiyama Residence's painted screens, bamboo lanterns and yukata rental. One of Osaka's most atmospheric evening strolls.
