Taking place around the downstream of the Arisawa Bridge on the Jinzu River near downtown Toyama, this is the largest fireworks display in Toyama Prefecture. Now held on August 1st each year, this summer evening fireworks display first started 2 years after the 1945 bombing of Toyama (occurred on August 1 and 2, 1945) as a prayer for the repose of the victims’ souls, for peace and for the reconstruction of Japan. Please enjoy this one-night son et lumière show while still praying for peace.
