What to do and see in Kashiwa, Kanto: The Best Things to do

A fireworks display that draws crowds of 410,000 or more people every year and is known as the tradition that decorates the summer night sky of Kashiwa and Abiko in Chiba Prefecture. At three venues in Kashiwa and Abiko, which surround Lake Teganuma, fantastic underwater fireworks, powerful Ultra-Jumbo Star Mines, and popular children's character fireworks are among the approximately 13,500 fireworks launched. Since the firework preferences vary at each launch venue, the unique fun of the "Teganuma Fireworks Display" is being able to sample the differences by moving from one location to another. There are also many stalls opened, centered around cheap and popular dishes.
