Yamaga Lantern Festival
One of the three major fire festivals in the summer of Kumamoto is the night festival where the lights of lanterns shake in the darkness. Beginning with the decoration of the votive lanterns on the 15th, in accordance with the graceful Yohoho on the 16th, it culminated in a glazed "Senjin Lanterns Dance" by the women with the lanterns with the lights on their heads, and the finale with the rising lanterns.
