Fireworks
Summer Festivals
A fire work display usually lasts for about 30 minutes or more than an hour sometimes. Dressed in Yukata and
a Uchiwa fan in hand, locals have fun watching fascinating flowers of fire in the dark sky.
Having fun with family and friends at a summer festival is one of the highlight of the summer. You will find
many food stalls, gams, dancing and musical performances.
