Wakasa Oi Super Ogase Fire Festival

Summary

The 'Wakasa Oi Super Ogase Fire Festival' held in Oi Town, Fukui Prefecture, is a major summer event where spectacular flames and fireworks perform together. When the giant 20-meter-tall, 1-ton torch 'Super Ogase' collapses, set-piece fireworks are launched simultaneously. This Super Ogase is inspired by the traditional fire festival 'Ogase' passed down in Oi Town, whose origins date back approximately 300 years. Still carried on today, it has been designated a National Intangible Folk Cultural Property. It is a rare opportunity to experience a magnificent night where history and passion merge.
