Summary

Lantern floating and fireworks share the evening at Tokimata Port on the Tenryu River in Iida, Nagano, on August 16. About 2,000 shells from 7 pm include star mines, a Niagara and goldfish fireworks that color the water, after lanterns drift downstream in memory of ancestors.

Overview

The quiet procession of lanterns sets the tone before the show builds to star mines and the Niagara, with goldfish fireworks painting the river surface below. Paid seating is available and food stalls line the banks. Tokimata Station is a five-minute walk away and 1,000 free parking spaces are provided.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive about an hour before the show; riverside routes get busy. Good bank-side spots fill early — come earlier still if you want to see the lantern floating.

Best viewing spots

For the goldfish fireworks that color the water surface, a riverside vantage close to the water works best. Star mines and the Niagara are enjoyable from any open viewpoint.

With kids

On the riverbank keep children away from the water's edge. Crowds make separation easy, so set a meeting point in advance.

Photography tips

Photography is free; tripods need consideration in crowded areas. Keeping the river's reflection in the lower frame captures the goldfish fireworks and Niagara reflections together.

Payment

Paid viewing seats are available — buy in advance for a guaranteed spot. Food stalls mostly take cash, so carry small bills.
