What travelers say:

One of the three major festivals in the northeast, the "cockroach lamp sacrifice" is one of the most important festivals in the summer. Among them, locals will not only hold high "cockroach lamps" made of bamboo and lanterns. Students in grades 5 and 6 will lift more than 10 kilograms. Middle school can lift more than 20 kilograms. Adults can even go. I really can’t imagine this museum fully introducing the history of the festival and there are actually many different sizes of xenon lamps to watch. I also saw someone actually performing to raise the xenon lamp. It’s really great. I recommend everyone to be interested in the Japanese festival. Visit
