Summary

A lake-surface fireworks show on Nojiri in Shinano Town, Nagano, held on July 25 with roots in the mid-Taisho era. About 2,000 shells — underwater and wide star mines among them — rise from the lake for an hour from 7:30 pm, their colors doubled in the water.

Overview

Because the launch sites sit on the lake, reflections spread across the water in every direction. There is no general parking by the venue: visitors are directed to use the paid shuttle from the Kurohime-kogen temporary lot, or come via Kurohime Station (shuttle or taxi, about 15 minutes). Lakeside space fills early, so allow time; food stalls are on site.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Arrive about an hour before the start; lakeside viewing spots fill early. There is no parking near the venue — plan on the paid shuttle from the Kurohime-kogen temporary lot, or access via Kurohime Station.

Best viewing spots

Launches rise from the lake itself, so reflections can be enjoyed from anywhere along the shore. The wide star mines spread horizontally, favoring viewpoints with an open line of sight.

With kids

At the lakeside, keep children away from the water's edge. The shuttle stop can get chaotic, so agree on a meeting point beforehand.

Photography tips

Photography is free; use tripods considerately in crowded areas. To capture the fireworks mirrored on the lake, keep a generous stretch of water in the lower frame.

Payment

There are no paid viewing seats. Food stalls generally take cash, so carry small bills and coins.
