Triathlon Irako Tournament Eve Fireworks Festival: Fireworks launches further excite the triathlon tournament
On September 5, the eve of the Irago Triathlon in Tahara City, Aichi, a fireworks show of about 300 shells goes up near Irago Port for 20 minutes from around 18:55, following the 17:20 opening ceremony of the eve festival.
Irago sits at the tip of the Atsumi Peninsula, and the display offers a gentler prelude to the race the next morning. The harbor location means the shells reflect on the water, and food stalls add to the easygoing festival mood. Take the Toyohashi Railroad to Mikawa-Tahara Station and a bus toward Irago-misaki, about 60 minutes, to reach the venue; free parking is also provided. Admission is free with no reserved seating.
