Aso Candle Night celebrates its 6th year in 2025.

The event began as a way to support the recovery and revitalization of the Aso region after the major earthquake in 2016, and during the pandemic it became a rare and meaningful chance for friends and families—including mine—to enjoy an evening out together.


After being held at the Aso Milk Factory in Uchinomaki for the past two years (2023–2024), the event is returning to its original location this year — Kosugi Resort in Otohime, Aso.
