Three Temple Pilgrimage of Hida Furukawa

The Three Temple Pilgrimage of Hida Furukawa is a traditional event held annually on January 15th, where visitors tour three temples throughout the town. Over a thousand candles are lit along the Seto River, enveloping the white-walled earthen warehouse district in magical light. Once a meeting place for young men and women, it has become a popular event for romantic fulfillment. As a symbol of Hida's winter, it attracts many tourists.
