Spring Green Light Up at Fukuchi Onsen 2025

A seasonal event bringing gentle lighting to lush greenery

Venue
Fukuichi Onsen Main Street
When
Jun 1st - Jun 30th 2025

While illuminations are typically a winter tradition in Japan, Takayama in Gifu Prefecture offers a rare and refreshing take with its Spring Green Light Up at Fukuchi Onsen. Set against the backdrop of fresh mountain foliage, this seasonal event brings gentle lighting to lush greenery, creating an atmosphere that is both magical and serene.

Each evening as the sun sets, soft lights illuminate the main street of Fukuchi Onsen and the nearby "Fairy Tale Village" area. The result is a dreamy walking path that feels pulled from the pages of a storybook. Surrounded by forest silence and the cool air of the mountains, visitors can enjoy an immersive blend of nature and quiet beauty long after dark.

The illumination takes place throughout the month, with lights switched on from dusk until 10pm. It’s a chance to experience a different kind of seasonal charm, far from the crowds and glitter of wintertime displays.

Fukuchi Onsen itself is part of the Okuhida hot spring village and sits at an altitude of 1,000 meters. Known for its restorative waters and peaceful atmosphere, the area is home to traditional thatched-roof inns and Edo-period architecture. With a history of healing and hospitality, it's an ideal setting for this one-of-a-kind event.
