The festival, held every July in Tobata Ward, Kitakyushu City, is a festival in which four &#8220;pyramids of light&#8221; stacked with 309 lanterns come together in one place. The festival was canceled two years in a row due to the corona epidemic. The general meeting in April confirmed that the festival would be held after thorough infection control measures were taken.
