No one else is home right now… I’m going to keep watching The Great Queen Seondeok and wallow alone in my feels.

About TO-KAE

Tens of thousands of candles are lit up in the land of ancient Nara where thrived as a capital 1300 years ago.

NARA TO-KAE started in 1999. Candlelight blends with the historical land and spectacular nature only 10 days in Summer.

TO-KA is a lump of flower shape on the top of a candlewick after lighting a candle. It is said to be good fortune when the flower shape is made.

We light candles one by one with best wishes for the visitors.
