Capturing the Light: The snow lanterns create a highly photogenic atmosphere. Since cold temperatures can drain batteries faster, we recommend bringing a spare battery for your camera.
Stay Warm: Winter nights are extremely cold. Please dress in heavy layers and bring items like heat packs (kairo), thick socks, and gloves to stay comfortable.
Walk Safely: Expect snowy and icy paths. Wear non-slip shoes and walk carefully to enjoy your stroll safely.
The Perfect View: The fireworks against the backdrop of Echizen Ono Castle are breathtaking. We suggest scouting a good viewing spot in advance to catch the perfect moment when the fireworks overlap with the castle silhouette.
