Kawasaki Summer Festival Fireworks Festival

This is a summer festival fireworks display held in Kawasaki-cho, Ichinoseki City. It is planned with the help of local people. For this reason, it is also called ``the huge fireworks display that we are proud of.'' Approximately 10,000 fireworks, including Star Mine, will be in full bloom. The highlight is the underwater jumbo fireworks. It is dynamic as it launches up close from the riverside. The ``2-shaku ball'', which explodes up to 500 meters in diameter, is also popular. Basically, the special feature is that the bleachers are very close to the launch site. You can experience vivid light and powerful sound. The mascot character, ``Kawatama Donta-kun,'' will also come to the tournament to make it even more exciting.

In addition to the fireworks at night, the daytime events are also popular. For example, the Human Scale King Championship, FM Asumo Public Live Broadcast & Guest Live are being held.
