Misawa lit up Phantasia Winter Illumination at Misawa Nakayoshi Park on November 18 to welcome the arrival of winter in the town of U.S. air base.

Get into the holiday spirit at the winter illumination, as this vibrant project runs through January 9. Visitors will be treated to the “Forest of Illumination” featuring over 70,000 LED lights, an illuminated reindeer and, at the center, a 16-meter-tall Christmas tree.

During the event, the park opens from 4 p.m. to midnight for the sparkling lights, so there’s plenty of time to enjoy this holiday treat.

On Dec. 2 and 3, the park will also host “Misawa Nakayoshi Sauna,” an event where visitors can enjoy a sauna soak free of charge. Free T-shirt, half pants and towel rentals will also be available.

Location: 2-1-1 Chuo-cho, Misawa City, Aomori Pref. (a 6-minute drive from Misawa AB Main Gate)
Period: Through Jan. 9, 2023, 4 p.m. – midnight
Nakayoshi Sauna: Dec. 2, 6 – 8 p.m., Dec. 3, noon – 8 p.m.
Admission: Free
