At the Kumagaya Firework Festival fireworks display, 10,000 rockets are sent into the air. They explode over the Arakawa river, beside the peaceful greens of Kumagayaarakawa Ryokuchi park and Arakawa park. The hot Saitama summer makes for a wonderful evening of light.
2. Kumagaya Uchiwa Matsuri
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 15 reviews
This festival is held every year from July 19th to 23rd and is the main festival of the Yasaka Shrine in Kumadani City. The festival originates from an old tradition whereby each household used to cook sekihan (red rice) to ward off illness and disease. This was called the Kumadani Sekihan Festival until later years when the use of uchiwa (paper fans) became popular and the event was renamed the Kumadani Uchiwa Festival. This tradition lives on today in the passing out of free paper fans from shrines and stores throughout the city. The boisterous event features 12 floats from each district along with musicians and taiko drummers who put on an exciting show.
