七夕スカイランタン祭り2026（京都会場）
Kyoto · Kansai
The Kansai edition of the LED sky-lantern release event, held at Kyoto Prefectural Kizugawa Sports Park (Joyo Gorigori-no-Oka). Same tethered-LED-lantern format as the Saitama edition; the August dates align with the "old calendar" Tanabata still observed in many Kansai regions rather than the July 7 date used elsewhere in Japan.
Happens every year
What to expect
A modern, ticketed lantern spectacle layered onto Tanabata timing rather than a traditional shrine festival.
Best viewing tips
Gates open 17:00, the lantern release happens around 20:30; same pricing structure as the Saitama edition. Sold out in prior years — book ahead.
