Holiday illumination at Grimm Forest

#holidayseason The world of Grimm's fairy tales is reproduced with the light of illumination. In the Grimm Forest in Shimotsuke City, which is a sister city with Diezherztal, Hesse, Germany, where the Grimm brothers were born, 700,000 electric decorations are used to create a fairy tale worldview with flowers such as roses. More illuminations are installed in the playground space than last year, and you can enjoy the world of fairy tales while walking in the gorgeous forest. Access: 25 minutes on foot from JR Ishibashi Station, or 10 minutes on foot from the Torikoyama stop by bus
