We’d been wandering round Otaru most of the day and I had it in mind to visit the canal which I had heard was lined with picturesque nineteenth century stone warehouses. We arrived just after dark and, fortuitously, discovered that this was where the Lantern Festival was.

Thanks very much, Derek. All quite fortuitous, really. I didn’t know the lantern festival was on until I got to Sapporo.
