Throughout the summer, Japan's night skies light up with the brilliance of 'hanabi,' or fireworks. With more than 80 fireworks festivals nationwide, you're sure to have an opportunity to catch one during your stay. Japan's fireworks are known worldwide for their artistic qualities – perfect shape, exquisite colors and enormous size, as well as the poetic sense of ephemerality they produce. In many cases, a single firework changes colors two to three times after it is launched. Most events often offer other forms of fun, including food and game booths.
