Photo Spots at Yokohama Lantern Night | Lanterns Illuminating Yokohama Bay Quarter

Yokohama Lantern Night is a summer event perfect for taking photos

With lanterns in a variety of colors and patterns—such as red, yellow, and white—lined up, the scene makes for a beautiful photo whether you focus on a single lantern or capture a group of them together.

Key points for photography

The key to taking great photos is to shoot during twilight, when there’s still a bit of light in the sky, making it easier to capture both the lanterns’ glow and the surrounding atmosphere. If you take photos before it gets completely dark, you’ll be able to capture not only the colors of the lanterns but also the depth of the entire venue and the background.
