Toro Nagashi (floating lanterns) is a ceremony done in honor of those who have passed. The floating lanterns commemorate loved ones and wish them peace. Guests will be able to float their candle-lit lanterns (LED candles) in the lower garden stream.

We will meet at the Japanese garden at 3:00 for the ceremony at 4pm. You should arrive before 3:30 to pick up your pre-ordered lantern in the Inamori Pavilion.
After the ceremony join us for dinner at Panama 66 located in the sculpture court at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. (no reservation required).
