Summary

A fireworks festival held at the scenic spot 'Kawakami Gorge,' known as the 'Arashiyama of Kyushu.' It has become a summer tradition in Yamato Town, Saga City, Saga Prefecture. Aerial fireworks vividly color the area around Kanjinbashi Bridge, while brave local volunteers perform 'Tezutsu Hanabi' (hand-held fireworks), showering themselves in sparks. Paid spectator seating is also planned, with details to be announced on the official website.
