Kira-kira Festival

Kira-kira Festival that the Sasebornians really love and other cities all envy of comes back to town this week. Never miss the Kira-kira Charity Big Party. You can’t see such an immence party anywhere else in the universe but in Sasebo. 98% of the Japanese are Buddhists. Yet, we love Christmas as a seasonal event. Every little space in Ginza will be covered with holiday lights and kira-kira (twinkle-twinkle) every night for 41 days. Fun events are held every weekend and entertain shoppers very well. The deligations (spies) from other cities check out what’s going on so that they can have such a dynamic event in their towns. Note: 99 Missions Stamp Rally is held every evening. Holiday craft store opens every evening during the festival. The local specialities such as American-style stakes, deserts, 99 Islands oyster BBQ, and Sasebo humbergers are available every evening at a reasonable price for 41 days. The lights are on every night until Monday, 14 January 2019. You will enjoy “Bubble Fantasy” every weekend and on Japanese holidays from 1900 to 1910. To support stores in Ginza to pay the expensive electric fee, they accept donation (Y1,000). You will get a Kira-kira pin as a moment.
