What is a "lantern launch"?

Lantern launching is a type of hot air balloon that is launched as a ritual to pray for good health during festivals in Thailand and Taiwan. It is also called "Khom Loi" or "Sky Lantern".

Since 2012, the town of Tsunan in Niigata has been launching lanterns as part of its annual snow festival as a prayer for recovery from the earthquake disaster.
Club Tourism has set aside a special day for launching lanterns, where guests can launch them themselves.

*The lantern launch may be canceled in the event of bad weather such as strong winds, heavy snowfall, or heavy rain.
*One lantern will be launched per group of participants. (If you are participating alone, you will launch the lantern with one other participant or a local staff member.)
