A MOUNTAIN OF PRAYER, A JOURNEY OF MUSIC
PRAYER MOUNTAIN PROJECT 2026
PRAYER MOUNTAIN PROJECT 2026
Where lights of prayer meet music on a sacred mountain.
NOVEMBER 22, 2026
SHOSANJI TEMPLE
KAMIYAMA, TOKUSHIMA, JAPAN
As the sun sets over Shosanji Temple, the mountain slowly falls into silence.
One by one, prayer lanterns begin to glow, while music fills the sacred mountain.
A celebration of Tokushima’s culture, nature and music — shared with the world.
Artists and communities from Japan, Thailand and beyond come together for a unique evening of music, prayer and cultural connection.
Shosanji is the 12th temple of the Shikoku 88-Temple Pilgrimage, one of Japan’s most historic pilgrimage routes.
Located high on Mt. Shosanji at an elevation of 938 meters, the temple has long been known as a sacred place of spiritual practice and prayer.
Beyond its ancient gate stand magnificent cedar trees hundreds of years old, overlooking the mountains of Shikoku stretching into the distance.
On this sacred mountain, we will light one prayer at a time.
And let music travel beyond borders.
On November 22, 2026, a new story begins here.
As the sun sets, prayer lanterns will illuminate Shosanji Temple.
Each light will carry a prayer, a wish, a memory or a message of gratitude.
For one special evening, music, prayer, nature and people become one.
