Decorate your own floating lantern amongst the plum blossom trees of the Friendship Garden/Garden Labyrinth.
This is a peaceful, family friendly festival with acoustic background music, workshops for the kodomo, food trucks, and a chance to try on a kimono yourself!
Pre-purchasing a lantern online is essential - they sell out fast! General entry is free.
