The “Sennichie Summer Festival,” a summer tradition, will be held in Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the festival.
Approximately 3,000 lanterns will float enchantingly across Kumihama Bay, and the “Daimonji” character will be illuminated on the slopes of Mount Kabuto.
In addition, approximately 1,500 fireworks will light up the summer night sky.

At Nyoi-ji Temple, the Sennichie Buddhist service (Main Hall) and the Sennichie Goma fire ritual (Fudo Hall) will also be held.
