Thank you very much for coming to Hinase Lantern Yoichi 2025 on Saturday, August 30.
We are sure that there were many things that we did not do well for our first lantern event, but thanks to all of you, we were able to complete the event without any problems. We would like to thank everyone who came to the event and everyone involved for their cooperation. Thank you very much.
At 3 p.m., lantern buyers were already lining up.
Write your wish on the lantern.
All of the heartfelt messages were very moving.

Greetings from BlueOcean Secretariat, Mr. Katayama. We thank all the guests for coming in the hot weather.
The venue also featured lanterns for the Toujima Akari Festival, which will be held on September 6. It was a very typical presentation of an event of light.
Hinase Jinkuro Taiko drummers performed enthusiastically! After the performance, the taiko drummers continued to play to the accompaniment of the Bon Odori dance.
The sun began to set and we went to the Bon Odori dance.
6 pm. Bon Odori starts.
Hinase Bon Dance was revived for the first time in about 30 years. We danced the Hinase Ondo together with local residents, ALT teachers, and even small children.
Lantern launch at 7:30 p.m. It was an emotional moment.
