On August 12, 1985, a Japan Airlines jumbo jet crashed into the mountains of Ueno Village, killing 520 people, the world's deadliest single-aircraft accident.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of that incident, and the lantern floating ceremony was held the night before along the Kanagawa River, which flows at the foot of the site, attracting many bereaved families and local residents.
Awash in the light of the lanterns, people quietly clasped their hands and blew soap bubbles into the sky in memory of those who died.
On the 12th, bereaved families will climb the ridge of Mount Osutaka in memory of the deceased, and then attend a memorial service at the base in the evening.
