Hokuroku Bulletin for this week.
Did you go to the Namerikawa Lantern Festival with Vietnam Airlines? That ended yesterday.
I visited twice, and on both days, many guests attended and enjoyed themselves.
This year, it became a groundbreaking collaboration event with Vietnam Airlines and the local event.
If more events like this appear in the Hokuriku region, people bored with their daily lives in our area may gradually become less prevalent.
On the second day of my visit, I went with my parents from Saitama prefecture next to Tokyo, and as soon as we arrived, my mother asked me, “Where can we float the lanterns?”
This event may not be able to allow guests to float their lanterns on a river.
I think, however, the lanterns have a tight connection to floating lanterns. The festival also opens during the Bon holiday period.
Ideally, the Namerikawa Lantern Festival would be nicer to have one more experience that people could enjoy at the festival, so floating lanterns might be a perfect match.
Guests can wear traditional Vietnamese costumes and take eye-catching photos at the former Miyazaki Sake Brewery at the event. When the festival starts an event of floating lanterns, the guests’ satisfaction must increase.
The committee members have already discussed the idea probably, and they have not been able to realize it for some reason, but the Nakagawa River flows in the town.
The small flow is the ideal venue. I’m looking forward to starting the new attraction.
Now, we’re in the middle of August. Our Hokuriku regions still have many fun events. Let’s have fun in each prefecture and make good memories.
Thank you for your continuous support for Hokuroku this week.
