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.
