Gotemba Kogen Toki no Sumika to Hold Two Major Early Summer Events Toki no Sumika Co., Ltd. (Kamiyama, Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture, CEO: Masashi Shoji), a complex leisure facility with accommodations, restaurants, and spa facilities, will hold two events to fantastically color the summer nights, 'Summer Galaxy' and 'Firefly Habitation,' at Gotemba Kogen Toki no Sumika starting from mid-May 2026. Please experience the healing and extraordinary summer time that cannot be found in the city, amidst the cool night breeze blowing on the Gotemba Plateau at an altitude of about 300m. ■ Walkable Milky Way 'Summer Galaxy' The 'Tunnel of Light,' a symbol of winter illumination, transforms into a 'galaxy' for the summer only in the 'Summer Galaxy.' The fantastical space woven by about 50,000 blue and white LEDs is just like walking through the Milky Way in the night sky. The approximately 200m long avenue of lights coolly colors the summer night of Gotemba Plateau. The fantastical space that makes you forget the heat of the day is also recommended for family trips, couple outings, and as a photo spot. You can enjoy it casually like a night walk as a 'cool summer illumination.' 【Dates】 May 9, 2026 (Sat) - August 23, 2026 (Sun) 【Time】 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM 【Fee】 Free 【Location】 Gotemba Kogen Toki no Sumika, near Suichu Rakuen, Namiki-michi (Avenue) (719 Kamiyama, Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture) https://www.tokinosumika.com/9365/ ■ Fantastical Firefly Dance 'Firefly Habitation' The 'light of life' gently floats on the waterside and in the bamboo grove.
