The lighting stone stairway

Colonnades of the light which were got ready by the Japanese oldest hot spring-town planning in Ikaho ―the stone stairway town―.

By arranging a nallw upper light along a stairway in the shape of a line, the various phenomena of the Ikaho hot spring are visualized.

Here, the town of hot water lets an aspect change completely with Night and Day.

It is not outstanding at noon, but colonnades of fantastic light go in the sky and stand straight up at night. Through the highest light called the LED, The phenomenon that a drawing does not show is visualized such as the turnout of the person of Ikaho, the natural phenomenon that continue changing, hot water smoke only in the hot spring-town.

When a town of Ikaho is surrounded by dusk, pillars of the light show the way to Ikaho Shrine along a stone stairway from a distance and become the night landmark.

The scene of the hot spring-town which is unique in the world colored by a curtain of the light can be called the "light" for the future of the Ikaho hot spring.
