It’s already September. Did you enjoy the fireworks this summer?

Some might say yes, and some might say no. Those who missed them out, it is still too early to be disappointed!

These days not a few fireworks events are held not only in summer but also throughout the year. Here I’ll introduce two especially recommended fireworks display in October.

The first one is “Konosu Fireworks Display” to be held in Konosu City, Saitama Prefecture.

This fireworks display is sponsored by Chamber of Commerce and Industry Youth Division of Konosu city.

Utilizing the location of a riverbed with a wide river width, you can see large scale fireworks called “Ootama” everywhere, and fantastic Star Mine, the fireworks combines music and fireworks, as well.

You must see the star mine “Otori Ranbu”(which means “Phoenix Dance”) composed of 300 repeated shots and several big shots including the world’s largest scaled balls!
