Shimabara Shoronagashi

Event
This traditional event is held every August 15 in Shimabara City. After straw boats decorated with kiriko lanterns are carried from the house of the recently deceased, parade through the city, then they are set afloat to the Ariake Sea. Boasting a more than 300-year history, you can see fantastic scenes where lit straw boats flow into the Ariake Sea at night.
