The main Suwako Hanabi fireworks show is held late in the summer. It is one of Japan's most notable shows, being one of the largest, with over 40,000 individual rockets fired into the air against the city lights and mountainous backdrop of Nagano. The main treat is the Grande Finale, where over a mile of cascading fireworks are set off all at once, in a breathtaking display. The secondary festival, in September, focuses on more technical, experimental, and customized styles of rocket.

Taizi Harada Art Museum in Suwa City opened in July 1998 at a site by Lake Suwa with a view of the Northern Alps as a museum that exhibits the works of artist Taizi Harada, whose hometown is Suwa City. Exhibied at the museum are works from "The World of Taizi Harada" series, which ran on the front page of the Asahi Shinbun Sunday edition for two and a half years form 1982. There are numerous other works depicting "hometowns", created by the artist who traveled around the country to capture scenes from various locations, lovingly painting each stone in a fence and each petal of a flower blooming in the field. We hope you enjoy discovering nostalgic and heartwarming scenes form the hometowns.

The Onbashira festival is held only once every six years, to metaphorically revitalize the Suwa shrines. The historic and lengthy event has been performed for over 1,200 years in Japan, and consists of two month-long components. The Yamadashi takes place in April, during which four very large tree trunks are felled by hand axes in the cemetery of a shinto shrine. They are wrapped and adorned in red and white, and then dragged by teams of men towards the Shinto shrines, who test their courage during the trial by performing "kiotoshi": dangerously riding the logs downhill on rough inclines. The Satokibi, in May, sees these logs used as symbolic support structures. They are raised in the shrines by hand, while one man straddles the top, singing. When it is fully raised, and the man on top balanced many feet in the air, success is declared. A remarkable spectacle.
