Projection mapping events have exploded in popularity over recent years, particularly as a way of illuminating traditional structures without damaging them. A three-day event taking place in Aichi brings the beauty of projection mapping to Okazaki Castle, which was the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu and is one of the Top 100 Japanese Castles.
The projection mapping will include digital art content related to Okazaki City's culture and traditions, including events like the Mikawa fireworks.
Admission to the event is free of charge, so if you're in the area be sure to stop by.
Getting there
Okazaki Castle is located under 10 minutes on foot from Okazaki-Koen Mae Station, which is served by the Meitetsu Nagoya Line.
For those who opt to drive, take the Okazaki IC from the Tomei Expressway. The castle grounds are approximately a 10 minute drive away, and paid on-site parking is available at a rate of 100 yen per 30 minute increment.
