How we checked

Last checked October 20, 2026 against sagano-kanko.co.jp. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.

Notes from the last check

The organizer's own 2026 press notice confirms the illumination runs again this year, and the Kyoto city tourism page gives 24 October to 29 December 2026 (closed 16 December) and a 880-yen adult one-way fare, but the organizer's dated announcement could not be read, so the edition status is reported rather than confirmed.
