A night in an ancient city wrapped in light, a journey to light up your heart in Nara in winter
Nara Ruri-e, a fantastic illumination event representing Nara in winter. A fantastic production that connects Nara Park with ruri-colored light, centered on the three shrines temples of Todai-ji Temple, Kofuku-ji Temple, and Kasuga Taisha Shrine, which are World Heritage Sites.
The deep blue color of Ruri has been regarded as the highest color since ancient times.
