Overview

Held along the shores of Ogawara Lake, this display sends its shells up over the water. It falls on the first night of the two-day lake festival: the daytime bustle around the lake gives way to an evening where fireworks spread their light across the surface. Creations by well-known fireworks masters add to the program, enjoyed together with the glow mirrored on the lake. The venue sits near the lake swimming area inside Ogawara Park — a 30-minute walk from Kamikitamachi Station on the Aoimori Railway, or about 5 minutes by taxi. Drivers reach it in about 10 minutes from the Kamikita IC, with free parking around the venue. For day-of status, contact the town office's commerce and tourism section or the Roadside Station Ogawara-ko tourist information desk (0176-58-1122). Lakeside evenings turn breezy and cool, so a light layer keeps the wait comfortable.
