Golden Week Fireworks
While updating the event page on my own personal website about Saitama Prefecture, I saw that there are at least two places in Saitama Prefecture with a mini fireworks display nightly during Golden Week. It got me thinking; are there any large firework displays on in Japan during Golden Week? It turns out there are dozens of firework displays on during Golden Week (weather permitting) around Japan. I've just chosen a selection randomly to share here on City-cost.
April 26th
"Momo no hana hanabi". When I saw the word "peach", as in the flower, as a flower lover this had to be my selection for April 26th! The Peach flower fireworks are on from 7.30 pm in Komaki City, Aichi Prefecture. They have some live entertainment before that though, from 4 pm. There is no admission fee.
April 27th
"Sakura hanabi". I chose this entry because it is also a 'yozakura' cherry blossom light up event. Enjoy the spectacular sight of cherry blossoms lit up with fireworks in the background. From 7.30 pm at Tomei Park, Bibai, Hokkaido. There is no admission fee.
April 29th
"Towada Spring Festival Fireworks". Lake Towada is located in Aomori Prefecture. As part of the spring festival they have fireworks, over the cherry blossoms, in Chuo Park on public holiday Tuesday April 29th. It looks absolutely stunning. If there is bad weather on the night they will be postponed until May 3rd.
May 3rd
"Celebration Fireworks". There are at least 33 firework displays in Japan on May 3rd this year. I chose this entry because it is in Tokyo's Akiruno. And also because this is the 59th occurrence of Akiruno's 'Celebration' fireworks. They are on between 7 and 8 pm.
May 4th
"Sand Festival fireworks". Another big day of fireworks, with at least 31 firework displays in Japan On May 4th. The choice for May 4th is the fireworks at the Minami Satsuma Sand Festival. How cool is that - sand art and fireworks. And they have night light up too. In Minamisatsuma city in Kagoshima Prefecture from 7.45 pm.
May 5th
"Fire Drone Fantasia". I chose this mini fireworks display for May 5th because it has drones too. I've seen a drone show at fireworks displays in Japan and they are absolutely amazing. This drone show / fireworks display is on at the popular Tokyo German Village, which is actually located in Chiba prefecture! It starts at 7.30 pm.
Are there any fireworks on where you live this Golden Week? Will you visit?
