117th Onuma Lake Water Festival (Fireworks Festival)

Event Overview

This traditional festival began in 1906 when a local priest held a memorial service for water-related disasters. It is held over two days in late July each year, with a hero show and Yosakoi dance scheduled for the first day, and a memorial service, lantern floating, and fireworks festival (from 8 PM) on the second day. Approximately 2,000 fireworks, including star mines, are launched over the lake. The sight of large fireworks reflecting on the mirror-like calm surface of Lake Onuma is fantastical and beautiful.
