Kanagawa Shimbun Fireworks Festival (2013)

The Minato Mirai waterfront lends a picturesque location to this bombastic summer fireworks display. There'll be around 15,000 fireworks deployed in the course of the event, the largest of which measures 480m in diameter, with musical accompaniment to heighten the sense of spectacle. If you want to secure a good spot, there are ‘Fireworks Appreciation Tickets’ sold at Lawson convenience stores (L-code 31110); note that the display will be postponed until Friday if the weather is poor.
