Yamanashi Prefecture - Lake Yamanaka Fireworks Festival

Lake Yamanaka is a plateau resort at 1000 meters above sea level, and it is known for being an excellent place to take beautiful, close-up photographs of Mt. Fuji. It is particularly crowded during the summer, when it gets many foreign tourists, tennis players, and watersports participants visiting. The lake is located fairly close to Fuji-Q Highland, an amusement park famous for its roller coasters, only a 20-minute drive away.

Many fireworks are launched in quick succession on August 1st, starting at 20:00 and lasting about 1 hour. In addition to typical fireworks, fireworks are also launched from the surface of the water, creating an enjoyable collaboration of beauty between the fireworks and the lake.

A special stage will be set up as the main event venue in front of Seahorse, where a variety of performances will be held starting at around 15:00. Additionally, there will be a number of gourmet food stalls set up in the area, so we recommend grabbing some food to eat while you walk around and enjoy the festival!
