It boasts one of the largest history and scale in Kantō, and has colored the night sky of the Ominigawa River since 1908. The lively fireworks using the river surface of the Tone River are unique to the water and green city that benefited from nature, and the oversized underwater star mine that explodes in the large space of the Tone River is impressive. In addition, the "39th Shakutama Competition", in which pyrotechnics from smoke shops and factories around the country bring their vaunted fireworks and shakutama to compete for beauty, is a view of the main event.
