Suwa Firework Festival

August 15th is the date of the second largest (at least that's what I was told) firework festival in Japan and it's held in Suwa, Japan which is the next city from where I live. Something like 40,000-50,000 fireworks are shot off on that night. I met up with a few students to hang out around the lake, drink, chat, and of course watch the firework show.

One thing that's pretty cool is the variety of different types of fireworks here. There are ones that explode diagonally, ones that form hearts or smiley faces, and others that explode like 4-5 times as they rise then one huge time at top. Enjoy the vids.
