Mitama Matsuri, first held in 1947, takes place annually at Yasukuni Shrine, and features around 30,000 lanterns. The purpose of this festival is to pray for the fallen soldiers of the past and for a more peaceful world.
Mitama Matsuri was one of the most crowded events in Tokyo, but since 2015, Yasukuni Shrine has started to ban the 200 or so food stalls that were once part of the festival and made it so popular with the Japanese youth. Since then, attendance at the event has declined greatly, almost deserted during the week with a peak in activity on the weekend.

Le Matsuri de Mitama, qui a vu le jour en 1947, se tient tous les ans au sanctuaire de Yasukuni, et est équipé de quelques 30 000 lanternes. Le festival rend hommage aux soldats tombés au combat, et lance un appel à la paix.
Le Matsuri de Mitama était un des événements les plus prisés par la foule à Tokyo. Or depuis 2015, le sanctuaire de Yasukuni a commencé à bannir pas loin de 200 stands de nourriture qui faisaient alors partie intégrante du festival et qui étaient particulièrement populaires auprès de la jeunesse japonaise. Depuis, l’événement a sévèrement perdu de son public, est même quasiment déserté en semaine, et ne voit sa plus grande foule que le weekend.
