Sairinka is a festival based on the theme of the more than 1,000 white swans that fly to Tokachigawa Onsen every year. Various attractions, such as the laser show and an illumination of about 667 light bulbs and LEDs, charm the visiting tourists. This festival is held over about a month at the end of January each year. A fantastical forest of lights created at night in the snowy plains delights the eyes of the approximately 50,000 visitors.

For the "Objects of Light," containing roughly 667 pieces of art, there is a light bulb or LED prepared for each piece of art, and the lighting control system and computer management harmonize the sounds and lights. The agricultural heat insulating material used for the pieces of art is unique to Tokachi, the kingdom of agriculture. The "Light and Sound Fantastic Show," the main event, is held from 19:00 - 21:00. During this show, through the double structure, you can completely take in the "Objects of Light" fantastically lighting up the snowy plains in harmony with the sounds.
