A traditional fireworks festival that has been held since the Edo period, this year marks the 101st event.

On the day of the event, in addition to the Buddhist memorial service and floating lanterns, there will also be fireworks and a cultural performance event. About 1,000 fireworks will light up the river surface, creating a fantastical scene.
