About this event
The '4th Minamisanriku Bonfire Festival', held in Minamisanriku Town, Miyagi Prefecture, is an event set along the Hachiman River, which still conveys memories of the hometown after the landscape was transformed by the Great East Japan Earthquake. As dusk falls, numerous lanterns illuminate the Hachiman River, giving visitors time to reflect on their hometown. The venue is a special stage area at Roadside Station 'San San Minamisanriku' (Michi-no-Eki San San Minamisanriku), enveloped in a magical atmosphere from twilight into the night. This festival offers an opportunity to experience a heartwarming scene that symbolizes regional recovery and the preservation of memories.
