Date & time: 8/22 (Sat)–8/23 (Sun) Time TBA
Venue: 西尾市一色町・三河一色諏訪神社
三河一色諏訪神社で200年以上の歴史を持つ三河一色大提灯まつりは、2026年は8月22日(土)・23日(日)の開催で、その初日を訪れます。高さ10メートルを超える大提灯が境内に立ち並び、龍や武者絵などが描かれた巨大な提灯に日が暮れると灯がともる光景は、全国でも珍しい迫力満点の夏祭りです。三河湾に近い港町ならではの厚い信仰心と、地域が総出で作り上げる祭りの熱気を、家族で間近に感じられる貴重な機会です。
Tips
大提灯に灯がともる時間帯は多くの人でにぎわうため、見物場所は早めに確保しておくと安心です。周辺は交通規制がかかるため、公共交通機関や徒歩でのアクセスがおすすめです。夜は海に近く風が涼しいため、羽織るものがあると快適です。
Tips
Viewing hours may be limited, so checking public opening days in advance is advisable. To preserve the building, follow viewing rules and tour quietly. As the surroundings are residential, be considerate of neighbors when taking photographs.
Best time to visit
Approximately 35 minutes required. You can leisurely view during the quiet afternoon hours.
