Hi everyone!
Summer in Kyoto is full of magic, and we have some exciting news for our guests staying at Sakanoue!
The stunning “東山観月路”（Higashiyama Bamboo Light-up）event is back and more breathtaking than ever. Imagine walking through a serene bamboo forest glowing under a warm, dramatic red and golden light-it’s an unforgettable, dream-like experience.
This event evolves from the famous “Higashiyama Hanatouro” light-up that charmed visitors for 17 years. Aside from the illuminated bamboo pathways, there will also be lively summer night stalls featuring popular local Kyoto shops at Kodaiji Park.
After a relaxing day at Sakanoue, put on a traditional Yukata and take a evening stroll to this magical event. It’s the perfect way to spend a summer night in Kyoto!
