Japan's summers are hot - but there're fireworks festivals （花火大会）held nearly every other day in late July and August all over Japan - and this is the REAL deal. They last from one to two HOURS (Singapore's rarely go beyond 10 minutes -_-) with all kinds and colours of fireworks that never fail to draw gasps from the crowds.
It's also the perfect excuse to walk around in your yukata (summer robe?), just like the people of the old used to do when they watched fireworks a century ago.
Wish I could upload them all (they're too big), but here's one of the more spectacular single shots I've seen - this one at Enoshima on Tuesday. (we were seated right in front of the waves at the beach!)
