The 43rd Nakafurano Lavender Festival & Fireworks Festival - The explosive sounds of fireworks echo off the flower field slopes, allowing you to enjoy impactful fireworks
On August 1 the Nakafurano Lavender Festival in Hokkaido's lavender heartland closes with about 7,000 shells launched from the slopes of Mt. Hokusei over 30 minutes from 19:45, while the purple fields at their peak glow in the daytime program.
The venue spans the Hokuseiyama lavender garden and the Nakafurano Flower Park, and the chance to pair daytime visits to the fields with an evening of fireworks launched from the hillside makes for a full day. The show draws around 10,000 people in a typical year, so claim a slope-side spot 60 to 90 minutes ahead. Nakafurano Station is a 15-minute walk away, and a free temporary lot of 400 spaces sits behind the town hall; roads around the venue are restricted on the day. Paid seats are also available.
