The festival is held on the fourth Saturday of July every year in Ayabe, Kyoto Prefecture, and is a tradition of releasing lanterns to honor ancestors from the late Meiji era. Today, it is a spectacular summer festival with the "Peace Prayer Manto Flow," where about 10,000 lanterns float simultaneously down the Yura River, and about 4,000 fireworks are set off. The venue is filled with a lively Ayabe Yosakoi dance adapted from the Kochi Prefecture Yosakoi dance. This is followed by the release of water lanterns at 7:30 p.m. A 40-minute fireworks display begins at 8 p.m., casting a dreamlike atmosphere over the entire Yura River bed.
