Running for over 20 years now, the Matsue Water Light Road event brings a variety of beautiful illuminations to Shimane's capital. Various locations across the city are decorated with handmade paper lanterns and colorful parasols, creating an ethereal atmosphere.
Event attendees also have the opportunity to take night cruises along Matsue Castle's moat and surrounding waterways, and it's the only time of year these cruises are offered after dark.
The illuminations are displayed on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays during the event dates, from 6 pm until 9 pm.
