Also, make sure you donвЂ™t come alone or youвЂ™ll be very lonely watching the other people with their lover, family, or friends. Going 2 or 3 hours before the event is one of the step to avoid the crowded and get the spot to enjoy the best view. When you have decided to go watching the hanabi festival then make sure you prepare well enough since it will be very crowded, especially in the big hanabi festivals. Though maybe you will be disturbed by the heat, I say it is still worthy since you can watch the hanabi festivals. If you have any plan to go to Tokyo or Japan in the next year, I think it is good to go in the summer season. Moreover, the crowded has been started from around the Senso-ji temple and there were lots of street vendors and game stall through the street to the Sumida-gawa. Since Sumida-gawa is located in the Asakusa area, which is in the north side of Tokyo, the neighbourhood are filled with the restaurants that were opened through the festival and provide outdoor seating where you can have some foods and drinks while watching the beauty of the hanabi. The beautiful fireworks were launched from the barges anchored along the Sumida River. The festival was located along the Sumida-gawa in Asakusa. Since I arrived in Japan on the second of August, I missed the Sumida-gawa hanabi festival that was held on the last Saturday on July. There are still lots of other big hanabi festivals in Tokyo, one of them are the hanabi festival at Sumida-gawa (Sumida River). Also, donвЂ™t forget that you can also find lots of beautiful girls and cool boys dressed in yukata. The foods that are sold in the street vendor varies from Japanese foods like yakisoba, okonomiyaki, and kakigori to the other countries food (I saw some people use their car sell kebab). Those vendors can be located near the location of the hanabi or on the way to the location. The other attractions to the festival are lots of street vendors selling various drinks and foods. These are some of the pictures taken in the Edogawa River Hanabi festivalвЂ¦ Fortunately, I was able to find a place to sit down and watch the hanabi, though I could only manage to sit on the bushes from the Chiba side, to the end of the show and it was worthy! The hanabi show was played with the usage of songs, so you can get and understand more about the feeling of the hanabi thatвЂ™s going on there and I can tell that the shells that were used were the big ones! I could feel the sound of the blast through my whole body! ThereвЂ™s only one word that fit enough to describe the hanabi show, which is fabulous! Most of them were siting picnic-like with their family or friends and brought foods and drinks to have it while watching the show. The show started at 7pm, but some time ago before that time, there have been lots of people filled that area, both from the Tokyo side or from the Chiba side. On the 4 th of last August when I was in Japan, I had a chance to watch one of the biggest hanabi festival in Tokyo at Edogawa river. It can even reach 800.000 people for a big one. Since hanabi is held in the summer holiday, itвЂ™s always filled with plenty of people. The hanabi often ends with a big closing, when the hundreds shells are launched simultaneously. Many of the longer shows are divided into multiple shorter parts, usually thereвЂ™s someone who announce the title or the sponsors in between them. The festival itself consist of large fireworks shows that last for one to two hours. Hundreds of fireworks festival (hanabi taikai) are held every year across the country, mainly from the end of July to the middle of August. I guess most of you have already known about it, Hanabi is the Japanese word for fireworks. Yeah, it is Hanabi! The flowers blooming in the night sky that mark the summer season in Japan. Such beauty that always reminds you and grows the longing for Summer. It is also in this season, when there are lots of fabulous things you can enjoy in the night sky. It is when the temperature becomes really hot and there are a lot of festival where there are also lots of street vendors selling various drinks and foods like okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and kakigori ( Japanese shaved ice). One of the most typical thing in the manga and anime that you have seen must be the summer season scene.
