We are pleased to announce the event that will take place at the World Heritage Site, Nijo Castle, from July 21, 2023 (Friday) to August 20 (Sunday). This event is part of the art project "NAKED GARDEN ONE KYOTO 2023", which lets you enjoy Kyoto in both reality and virtuality.

Both inbound visitors and locals can enjoy the Japanese summer together with Kyoto's largest projection mapping fireworks!

Last year marked the inaugural "NAKED Summer Festival". Many locals and families in Kyoto city enjoyed the festival spirit, which had been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. This year, we updated the content to enable both locals and inbound (foreign) tourists to experience Japanese summer while getting a touch of Nijo Castle's history and tradition. Explanations will be provided in five languages: Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified, Traditional), and Korean. Enjoy learning about historic buildings such as the Important Cultural Property Karakado and the National Treasure Ninomaru Palace in the learning area, experiencing Kyoto's largest projection mapping fireworks in the mapping fireworks festival area, and enjoying digital festival experiences and snack-style drinks by NAKED, INC. in the Hyper Festival area.
