Watching the fireworks in Japan

One of the highlights of planning a trip to Japan in the summer is to see the beautiful lit night sky during one of the "Hanabi Taikai" (or firework festivals) held throughout Japan during the months of July and August, including the famous fireworks seen in Tokyo and Hiroshima.

Sumida River Fireworks Festival

Planning a trip to Tokyo in late July? Then you're in luck! Don't miss the opportunity to see one of Tokyo's historical summer event, the Sumida River Fireworks Festival, on July 27, 2019. Historically and formerly known as the Ryogoku Kawabiraki, the fireworks along the Sumida River dates back to the late Edo Period (around 1733). Although the event has been suspending for some years to follow, from 1978 onwards, it has been held annually, with over 20,000 fireworks illuminating the Tokyo city skyline every summer.

Miyajima Fireworks Festival

One of the most popular and breathtaking firework display, the Miyajima Fireworks Festival, will take place in Hiroshima prefecture, on August 24, 2019. A "must-take" event for any photography hobbyist or enthusiast with over 5,000 fireworks lighting up the night sky and the surface of the shore along the world famous Itsukushima Shrine. Whether viewing the fireworks from Miyajima or from the opposite shore of the city of Hatsukaichi, this breathtaking event of colourful illumination is not to be missed!
