Summary

The Ichida Lantern Floating Grand Fireworks, held on August 18 by the Tenryu river near Myojin Bridge in Takamori Town, Nagano, have run every year since 1923. About 1,000 shells light the evening alongside lanterns swaying on the water — one of the largest such events in southern Shinshu.

Overview

Lanterns drifting on the Tenryu and the bursts overhead make a memorable pairing. Extra trains run from Ina-Oshima and Iida Stations on the day, and Ichiada Station is a five-minute walk from the banks. Five hundred free parking spaces sit near the town hall with shuttle buses, but vehicles cannot enter the Dezawahara district after 6 pm. Paid seats and food stalls are both available.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive about an hour before the start; riverside routes get busy. Vehicles cannot enter the Dezawahara district after 6 pm, so arrive by car before then.

Best viewing spots

Launches rise from the Tenryu riverbank near Myojin Bridge. To frame the lanterns and the fireworks together, pick a slightly set-back spot with a full view of the water.

With kids

On the riverbank keep children away from the water's edge. Extra trains and shuttle buses get crowded, so agree on a meeting point in case you get separated.

Photography tips

Photography is free; be considerate with tripods in crowded areas. Framing the lanterns swaying on the river together with the bursts gives this event its signature shot.

Payment

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