Sky Lantern Project Hokkaido SAPPORO

During the sky lantern event, participants can place their wishes and hopes into sky lanterns and release them into the night sky.

Lantern distribution is expected to begin at 19:00, and the unified release of lanterns will start at 20:00.

When the soft lights ascend simultaneously, it not only creates unforgettable moments to share with family, friends, and loved ones but also becomes an impressive landscape in the host city's night, leaving a deep and memorable impression on many tourists.

By combining the unique characteristics and charm of various regions, the aim is to create distinctive nightscapes, bringing a new regional experience to visitors.

• The light source used for the lanterns is LED, so children can safely participate in the experience.
• Please do not release the flying lanterns directly into the air. For environmental protection, this activity uses a tethered release method.
• The lantern handle and tether are integrated, and the handle itself acts as a counterweight, so even if it is accidentally released, the lantern will not fly away.
• Once tickets are purchased, cancellations, date changes, and refund requests due to personal reasons of the visitor will not be accepted. We appreciate your understanding.
• The lantern release activity may be canceled, postponed, or have some content adjusted due to weather conditions. Please be aware of this in advance.

• After the event, due to the structure of the parking lot and traffic flow, there is a long period of vehicle congestion when leaving each year. It is only recommended that visitors who can accept such conditions drive themselves; other visitors should try to use public transportation.
