Ito Mound Lantern Festival

Sending off fire of Obon illuminated by thousands of lights
The summer evening of the Ito Mound, a keyhole-shaped burial mound, is illuminated by the gentle light of candles. As the sun sets, the scenes of the ancient tomb and the rural landscape change moment by moment, creating a moving send-off fire of Obon. Let's head out not at night but at dusk. There are also performance events utilizing the space of the tomb, allowing you to enjoy a great atmosphere at twilight.
