A majestic silver cascade of sparks and sequenced fireworks
Each year on the night of August 13, the staple summer event is held at Sakurabuchi Park on the pristine Toyo River, flowing throughout Shinshiro. An astonishing approximate 2,000 fireworks are shot into the night sky to spectators' delight.
Shinshiro is a mountainous region in Aichi, and the festival's venue is located in between the mountains, creating astonishing cracks and booms which reverberate throughout the area. One of the spectacles of the festival is the 150-meter wire striding the river, which when lit, creates a beautiful cascade of silver sparks above the water. Come and see the awe-inspiring scene as it is reflected off the water's surface.
