As one of the traditional charms of the Japanese summer, fireworkｓ festivals are held throughout the country during July and August. In the big cities, the festivals can get terribly crowded, so you just might find a real gem of a rural fireworks festival off the beaten track. Make sure to try the street food of Japan from one of the many open-air stalls found at the show.
