Festival of Lanterns

Us at the Festival








We went to this Festival outside of the Front Gate don't know a whole lot about it but this is what we were able to find out. Newly deceased people's souls are sent down the river to the ocean in the west.




"Toro Nagashi" Floating Lantern. The Lanterns are believed to welcome returning souls on the first day and to send them off on the last day.

We had a lot of fun here :)
