A small festival fireworks show in Minami-cho, Gujo City, Gifu, held on July 23 as part of the local shrine's traditional festival. About 200 shells rise over 15 minutes from 20:30, after a day when the portable shrine parades through town and food stalls line the streets.
The Atago-yama festival of the Hakusan district is a community event with old roots, and the fireworks cap an evening of stalls and procession. The venue is only a five-minute walk from Kariyasu Station on the Nagaragawa Railway, making it easy to visit by train. There is no parking near the venue, so come by rail if you can. Since details can change from year to year, check the latest word from the organizers (the Minami Promotion Office) before heading out.
