Miracle Illuminate

Walk a glowing valley where autumn leaves dance at your feet

Experience an immersive illumination where nature and digital art come together in Sounkyo Onsen, one of the first places in Japan to welcome the colors of autumn.


The stage is Momijidani Valley, hidden deep in the hot spring town at the foot of the Daisetsuzan Mountains. As night falls, the gorge is transformed by light. Brilliant maple and rowan leaves glow vividly in the darkness, illuminated by soft LED lighting that reveals deeper, richer colors than in daylight. As you stroll along the forest path in the cool mountain air, towering canyon walls emerge from the shadows, creating a breathtaking sense of scale unique to Sounkyo.


One of the highlights is the interactive lighting experience that responds to your movement. Walk across the projected artwork and glowing leaves scatter beneath your steps, as if autumn itself were dancing around you. With every step, the lights shift and change, while gentle music echoes through the quiet valley, creating a magical atmosphere that engages all five senses.


After your evening walk, relax in a nearby hot spring and soak in the lingering beauty of the autumn night. Surrounded by nature and light, this unforgettable experience captures the enchanting spirit of Sounkyo in fall.
