If you think that fireworks displays in Japan only happen in the summer, then you should visit Nagano in late November when the weather starts to cool down to see one of Japan’s largest fireworks displays – the Nagano Ebisu Fireworks Festival. The festival takes place on November 23rd every year on the banks of the Saigawa River in central Nagano Prefecture. If you have the chance, be sure to visit and enjoy the spectacular display.
