Yokohama Bay Area will host the summer illumination event "Night of Lanterns" from May 30th to September 23rd, 2026. Now in its seventh year, "Yokohama Night of Lanterns" has become a popular summer tradition in Yokohama. The event venue recreates the streetscape of Hoi An, Vietnam, creating a dreamlike space full of exotic charm, making visitors feel as if they are in a foreign land. To celebrate the museum's 20th anniversary, the number of lanterns decorating the museum has been significantly increased, reaching a record high of 1,000. This year's event is even more spectacular than ever before, with additional photo spots added to the main plaza and three other locations within the museum. These brightly colored lanterns, all handcrafted by Vietnamese artisans, will bring dazzling light to the entire venue. A new highlight is the approximately 4-meter-high "Lantern Cube." Stepping into this space surrounded by lanterns, one is immersed in a magical experience of interwoven light and shadow. In addition, a brand-new photo spot has been set up, inspired by the lantern stalls on the streets of Hoi An. Besides last year's popular Ao Dai dress-up experience and round-trip ticket raffle in partnership with Vietnam Airlines, this year's event also features a variety of programs, including a lantern painting experience for the whole family, and a special "Adult Night" program designed specifically for adults, allowing them to comfortably enjoy the evening.
