・Tsuchiura National Fireworks Competition
The Tsuchiura National Fireworks Competition is a traditional fireworks competition with a long history. It's not only one of Japan's three major fireworks festivals, but also one of Japan's three major competitive fireworks festivals. The festival began in 1915, when Akimoto Umeho, the head priest of Shinryu-ji Temple in Tsuchiura City, personally organized a spectacular fireworks display on the shores of Kasumigaura Lake to revitalize the shopping district devastated by the Great Kanto Earthquake. The Tsuchiura Fireworks Competition, a gathering of exceptionally skilled pyrotechnicians, is considered Japan's premier fireworks competition in both quality and scale, presenting a fantastical feast of light and sound. Competitions are divided into the "Star Main" (Fireworks Volley Continuous Firing) Division, the "No. 10 Tama Division," and the "Creative Fireworks Division," with winners receiving prestigious awards such as the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry's Award. The best entries in all three divisions receive the "Prime Minister's Award," the highest honor pyrotechnicians strive for. At the competition, pyrotechnicians utilize their unparalleled skills to create a dazzling display of ever-changing and beautiful fireworks. Judging criteria for each category include creativity, color, precision, rhythm, and performance. Creativity and technical innovation are particularly important in the creative fireworks category, and outstanding works are highly recognized. Each fireworks display offers audiences an unparalleled visual and auditory feast, fully immersing themselves in the art of light and sound through the magnificent display of fireworks.
※This tour is for group seating. Unlike regular riverside seating, this seating is located on a platform approximately 180cm high in the paddy field behind the regular seating. Therefore, some fireworks may not be visible.

＊You are free to move around before the fireworks display begins.
