Tenno Matsuri (天王祭り) is a festival held annually, in July, in Tsushima, Aichi. The highlight of the two-day event is the evening festival in which a dozen boats, each decorated with nearly 400 paper lanterns, float down the Tenno River. The festival honors the deity Gozu Tenno. This festival also takes place in Tokyo.[http://www.tourism.metro.tokyo.jp/english/tourists/spot/area_spot/area_spot/area_spot15_2.html Shinagawa-ku 1] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090228072224/http://www.tourism.metro.tokyo.jp/english/tourists/spot/area_spot/area_spot/area_spot15_2.html |date=2009-02-28 }}
