About this event
Held at Ohara Kannon-ji Temple in Maibara City, Shiga Prefecture, the "Mitsunari Lantern Festival" is a magical lantern release event carrying people's prayers and memorial tributes for Ishida Mitsunari. Set at Ohara Kannon-ji Temple, the historic site where Sengoku period commander Ishida Mitsunari and Toyotomi Hideyoshi are said to have first met, countless lanterns illuminating the night sky offer visitors a deeply moving experience.

Scheduled to begin in the early evening on the day prior to the Mitsunari Festival in Nagahama City, it promises a memorable night lighting up autumn in Maibara.
