Fire works is one of the hottest event every summer. Most of them come along with some kind of festivals.

If you don’t mind to blend in to overcrowd people, you can go to the best viewing spot. Yes, watching hanabi the fire works closer is super exciting, just like enormous drums being stroke in front of you. Festival and hanabi at same night, how wonderful. If you plan to go festive fire works locations, check out this web site for your preparation >> How to Enjoy Japan’s Fireworks to the Fullest by Tsunagu Japan

Instead, you may enjoy fire works from below listed hotels or ryokans. Stay calm in safe place while dipping in the most beautiful night in Japan. But please understand, not all guest  rooms are facing to fire works. You need to make sure with the accommodation that you want to stay in a room with fire works view. Or perhaps, it’d be a good idea to ask the hotel or ryokan if they themselves recommend to see hanabi from their venue.

Hanabi fans start planning and booking the hotels from April or May as soon as their favourite hanabis are announced its schedule. But for you the traveler, be aware of any change of the schedule, by wether or whatever.
