About this spot

The "Spirit Festival Lantern Fireworks Grand Celebration" held at Shoryu-no-Yado Kawachi on the banks of the Tajimi River is a festival connected to the ancestral veneration of the community.

The tradition of lantern floating is carried on here, giving this festival a unique, solemn, and warm atmosphere that goes beyond a typical fireworks display. After spending the day experiencing Yanizu's history and art, conclude with your family gazing up at the night sky and the river's reflection.
