Purchase a floating lantern at the door and launch it on our sparkling koi pond to participate in this ancient Japanese tradition without ever leaving Tucson.

Once you make a wish, light up and float your lantern you will also have a chance to try Japanese street food from Tucson's favorite food truck, Takoyaki Balls. This sweet evening winds down with spending some time in the Gardens to the sound of Japanese folk music playing softly in the background.

Toro nagashi refers to the Japanese lantern festivals where they release candle-lit lanterns into the river together with their prayers for peace. We hope you will all come and enjoy our ode to toro nagashi here at Yume Japanese Gardens.
