Paper lanterns in Japan have meaning in certain situations. They often signify a restaurant with a special type of food and are usually red in colour. This restaurant went crazy with the paper lanterns as a way to advertise the restaurant.
About Me
- Kevin Willett
- I have been teaching English as a second language for over 20 years in Japan and Canada. What keeps me in Japan is the love of its culture, which constantly surprises me. I am also fascinated with "alternative travel", or "travel off the beaten path". Ferries and trains are my mode of choice... airplane for convenience.
