January 17, 2025

At Genji Park, located in Shuzenji Onsen in Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, a limited-time event called "Takumi no Akari Michi" (Path of Artisan Lights) is being held from Sunday, December 1, to Monday, March 31. The highlight of this event is the collaboration between Shuzenji’s traditional crafts, Shuzenji Washi (Japanese paper) and Shuzenji Straw Craft, along with the enchanting Bamboo Lanterns.

During the day, the graceful colors of the washi paper and the intricate patterns of the straw crafts are illuminated by sunlight, offering an experience akin to strolling through an art gallery. At night, the warm glow of the bamboo lanterns creates a fantastical atmosphere, presenting a completely different charm from the daytime.

Strolling along the pathways illuminated by the magical glow of bamboo lanterns, you can immerse yourself in the tranquil ambiance and unique charm of the onsen town, with its subtle fragrances and serene atmosphere. After your walk, unwind with a relaxing footbath, letting its warmth soothe both body and mind. Treat yourself to a delicious dinner at local restaurants, where fresh, regional ingredients take center stage, or enjoy different day hot springs, enjoying the essence of Shuzenji's renowned onsen culture. Unlike the daytime, Shuzenji Onsen at night offers a distinctive allure, filled with quiet enchantment and unforgettable moments. Embrace the beauty of this serene evening retreat and create lasting memories.
