Yasukuni Lantern Festival 2009 みたま祭り2009年

This is the Mitama（御霊） Matsuri that takes place at Yasukuni Shrine every summer. It's a really crowded event, but it's worth checking out.
If you go, search around for the snake lady. You'll have to pay to see her...but trust me - she's frickin' weird!

I didnt know about this festival. It is funny because watching Gaijin J-Bloggers vids like yourself make me (Japanese) learn about my own culture.

[ToLokyo]

That's awesome that you can learn from us. ^^

Tokyo is so full of events like this, it's easy to miss a lot of them. What a great town!

It looks absolutely amazing, I wish I could go next year haha. The lanterns are amazing, I want one (or a few actually :P) for my bedroom! Would look pretty sweet ! Awesome video, 5 hoshi ftw!

Hope you can come next year!

I have a little lantern that I made in Asakusa in my living room - you can see it in the background of my latest vlog about Immigration Cops at the beginning. ^^

Thanks for the 5 hoshi!
