Its middle of rain season in Japan right now, but once its over we are ready to have SUMMER!!
One of best part of summer is Fireworks!! We do fireworks at home with family, also we go to Fireworks festival, too. Because fireworks are a true symbol of summer in Japan.
Japanese fireworks feature bright colors and beautiful shapes when
bursting overhead.
In Hiroshima, Hiroshima Port Dream Fireworks Festival is held in July, when approximately 10,000 fireworks are set off. Various types of fireworks can be enjoyed, including lovely katamono (pattern-shaped) fireworks, such as squids, crabs, octopus and fish, and offshore Starmine fireworks, which form fan shapes like peacocks spreading their wings.
The fireworks are displayed against the ocean and
mountains in a refreshing sea breeze and the salt tang of the sea. Enjoy
the “fantastic story” unfolded on a stage unique to Hiroshima, which is
located along the Seto Inland Sea.
Also there will be many of stalls along the street, so enjoy fireworks viewing with Japanese old-style food and cold beer !!
There will be more than 400,000 participants expected, so get ready for all those crazy traffic !!
