muikabochi 208 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 There have been 3 pretty big firework displays here over the last 4 days in Muikamachi, Shiozawa and Itsukamachi. Enjoying the festivals, drinking and eating. So it's not all bad. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 I was right up close for the Shiozawa ones. Amazing it was. With mountains pretty much surrounding the town on all sides, the very load bangs richocheting around really added to it big time. First time I had noticed anything like that, but it was awesome.

Chriselle 158 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Ito has some great fireworks throughout the summer, too. We even have our own fireworks show from the breakwater right in front of my house. Going back to Canada so will miss all of them this year... Link to post Share on other sites

Yes that was fun muika. Only about 300m from lift off area. They made on heck of a noise around the mountains. Great stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Summer is pretty much all good in my books! In no particular order, the things I love about it: - hot weather - surfing without a wetsuit - beaches - babes in bikinis - ice cold beer (much better on a hot day!) - festivals - fireworks - 7 weeks of vacation There's more but I get lazy when I'm on vacation!

The Ito fireworks are probably the best I've seen around here. Whenever I'm in Japan on August 10th I go there! Link to post Share on other sites
