Did you know that the popular Disney movie "Tangled" is based on a festival called "Yi Peng Festival"?

What is the "Yi Peng Festival"?

The Yi Peng Festival is an annual festival held on the night of the full moon in November in Thailand, a Buddhist country, where lanterns called "khom loi" are released into the sky to express gratitude to Buddha. It’s a representative Buddhist festival of Thailand!

This year it took place on November 25, so it has already ended. However, there is a similar festival in Japan’s Niigata Prefecture called the "Tsunami Snow Festival" that you can enjoy without having to go all the way to Thailand!!

About the "Tsunami Snow Festival"＊

During the Tsunami Snow Festival held in Niigata, sky lanterns are released into the sky to signify earthquake recovery. It started in 2012 during the 36th Tsunami Snow Festival, and this will be the fifth time! The 40th Tsunami Snow Festival is scheduled to be held on March 12 next year!
