In the summer there's many fireworks events in Japan and one of the most famous ones is in Kamakura, about one hour south of Tokyo by train. I enjoyed walking around for the whole day and visiting Hachimangu Shrine as well as the Great Buddha statue and a quick look at Enoshima Island. I set up my blue tarp on the beach early to make sure I have a space to watch the fireworks in the evening, as the beach will be full of people well before the 7 p.m. starting time of the fireworks.

I agree that it’ll be definitely a good idea to see the HANABI, the Japanese traditional fireworks. That must be exciting everyone. We TripHugger will actually have a meet-up event of following dates by keeping a space for our friends. Anyone can apply to the meet-up, let’s enjoy it with us!
