Ashikaga Flower Park is at its most beautiful during the winter illumination show! There are three different time periods and themed displays. In the Garden of Light Flowers, five million lights make the famous wisteria look absolutely stunning and grand.

Ryukyuan dances, street dances, eisa, folk performances, musicals, live music, brass bands, etc. are performed.
I love joining the carnival parade in Okinawa! There are folk dances from all over the world, and everyone wears colorful clothes and unique accessories. There’s even a motorcycle parade—it’s so much fun!

Tsuchiura All Japan Fireworks Competition
The historic fireworks competition has been held in Tsuchiura City, Ibaraki Prefecture since 1925 (Taisho 14). Fireworks professionals from all over the country gather to showcase their skills.
Japan’s autumn fireworks are amazing! Fireworks artists create spectacular shows based on themes given by the organizers, all competing for the top prize. There’s also music at the venue, which makes the whole atmosphere really lively and adds extra sparkle to the fireworks.

Gifu City Industrial and Agricultural Festival - Gifu Nobunaga Festival
Gifu City Industrial and Agricultural Festival - Gifu Nobunaga Festival - is the highlight of Gifu’s autumn. The father in law, Saito Dosan built Gifu Castle. Oda Nobunaga put a base in this castle and proceeded to unify Japan, which is celebrated in this festival. On the 1st Saturday and Sunday of November, an array of events are held around the heart of the city, Gifu Station.
This year, they specially invited Takuya Kimura and Hideaki Ito. After the pandemic, this event really brought new energy to Japanese tourism, attracting over 460,000 people—it was super crowded! Seeing my favorite celebrities made me so happy.
