The summer tradition of Shikoku, the 'Mure Genpei Ishiakari Road.' The stone path illuminated by torches seems to exude timeless stories and an illusionary atmosphere.
The 'Mure Genpei' depicts the battle between the Heike and Genji clans, a national cultural asset. Inspired by this, an approximately 800m stone promenade is set up. The spread of lights evokes the scenes of the warriors' march in the past.
The Ishiakari Road is a limited-time event. Walking along the stone path illuminated by lights, you'll feel like you've lost yourself in another world. The sight of flickering firelight in the summer night breeze shows a different side of Takamatsu.
The atmosphere of the illuminated path naturally encourages slow strolling. As a spot that even families with children can enjoy, it is beloved by the locals. The appeal lies in reminiscing about history and savoring an extraordinary experience.
Why not visit the ephemeral world of stone lights on a summer night? You'll surely be captivated by the scenery for one night only.
