72nd Shisa Town Summer Fireworks Festival

Spirit boats and about 1,000 fireworks to color the Bon festival
The fireworks and the procession of spirit boats conclude the Bon festival in Shisa Town. In addition to the traditional spirit boats made of straw in Tachimachi, the spirit boats from various districts, carried by the men, parade through the shopping street from in front of the Amista Hotel to Kashima Bridge, led by the powerful Matsuura drums. The climax features about 1,000 fireworks being launched. The sight of the Matsuura Railway train crossing the iron bridge while fireworks go off is a must-see.
