Tezutsu Hanabi (Hand-held Fireworks) is a traditional firework art originating in the Mikawa region. Gunpowder is packed into bamboo tubes, which are held by the performers themselves. With a thunderous roar, flames shoot into the night sky as sparks rain down like a waterfall. The performers stand unflinchingly amidst the flames, showcasing a breathtaking and heroic display. This is more than just fireworks; it is a traditional culture of 'dialogue with fire' passed down through generations in Toyohashi.
Mitsui Outlet Park Okazaki The outlet features over 100 popular brands, ranging from outdoor sports to Japanese fashion. There are also many restaurants and cafes in the park where visitors can freely choose to recharge or continue shopping. Enjoy a dreamlike performance of lights, fountains, mist, and music at the OKAZAKI MARKET; the Magic Hour show runs at scheduled times starting at 6:00 PM daily.
Orange Picking Experience Orange picking season is from early October to late December. Visit the orchard to pick fresh oranges by hand and taste the seasonal, sweet, and tangy fruit. Enjoy the fun of picking and eating on the spot—all-you-can-eat! Perfect for family trips and gatherings with friends to experience the seasonal joy of fruit picking. Tips for Orange Picking Selecting ripe mandarins: Generally, mandarins with a deeper, reddish-orange color that have received sufficient sunlight are usually sweeter. Proper picking method: If the orchard provides scissors, please follow the staff's instructions. If you can pick them by hand, hold the fruit and gently twist it off; avoid pulling hard to prevent damaging the branches.
