An incredible 40,000 fireworks go up in smoke in a couple of hours at the Lake Suwa Fireworks Festival. Lake Suwa is a rectangular shaped lake to the south of Matsumoto City in the southwest corner of Nagano Prefecture.
How to get there
The main viewing area is in Suwa City on the south side of the lake. Regular trains from Matsumoto to Kamisuwa Station take about 35 minutes and the fare is ¥580. As with all large scale evening events, you should make sure of your transport home. If you’re going by train, make sure you buy your tickets in advance or charge your Suica card so you won’t have to join a long queue in the station when you leave.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
