About this event
The Mito International Center summer guide, published with the Mito Tourism and Convention Association, lists the Mito Komon Matsuri with lantern parades, decorated floats and portable shrines at the north exit avenue of JR Mito Station in early August (3 to 4 August in the 2024 edition). The 2027 dates are not yet published; the window shown follows the usual first full weekend of August, so treat it as expected.
