6,000 lanterns at the Manto Mitama Festival in Mie Prefecture

The Manto Mitama Festival is a summer festival where approximately 6,000 paper and paper lanterns are hoisted to console the spirits of the war dead. 🏮 We ask each and every deity to offer their "proof" to the great god of national defense, who sacrificed his life as a shield to protect his family, hometown, and country during times of national crisis. 🤲 During the festival, many food trucks, festivals, and night bubble shows are held, attracting many visitors. 🫧 Of all the Mitama festivals across the country, the wall of lanterns at Mie's Gokoku Shrine is the most impressive. 🏮🏮🏮 [Mie Prefecture Manto Mitama Festival] ⚫︎Dates: August 13-15, 2025 ⚫︎Location: Mie Prefecture Gokoku Shrine, 387 Hiroaki-cho, Tsu City, Mie Prefecture 514-0006 ⚫︎Access: By Car🚗◎By Expressway: Ise Expressway, approximately 15 minutes from Tsu Interchange. ◎By Route 23: Turn west at the "Sakaemachi Ni" intersection and turn 5 minutes.
