The next morning, uneaten food is thrown into the river or the sea. In some places near the sea, the lanterns are placed into the water after the festival.

I once asked some questions about the festiva to Japanese people, but I did not get any answer. The questions are (in Japanese): Could you name the region holding the festival? Do they really throw the food for the dead into the sea?
