Private Fireworks Display in Japan
Private Fireworks Display in Japan - Check out this exciting new experience by DMC Japan by KNT! Your very own private fireworks display.
Ever heard of Suwa in Nagano Prefecture? It's just a 2.5 hour ride on the express train from Tokyo. It’s famous for the Suwa Lake Fireworks Festival, and guess what? It's celebrating its 75th anniversary this year!
In August Suwa transforms into a fireworks wonderland. It is one of the largest fireworks display in Japan. We're talking about a whopping 40,000 fireworks lighting up the sky! Half a million people make the journey to the town (population: 50,000) to witness this magnificent experience.
Ten top-class pyrotechnicians from all over the country gather at Lake Suwa for a fireworks display in August to compete and show off their technique.
Suwa takes its fireworks seriously. Apart from the August extravaganza, they throw another massive fireworks bash in September. Suwa’s pyrotechnicians make sure these displays are nothing short of mind-blowing. Suwa welcome the best pyrotechnicians from all over the country every year, who train hard year round to produce beautiful large flowers in the night sky of Suwa every year.
Now, if you're all about fireworks but not so much about crowds, we've got a special experience for you. A private fireworks show! Suwa's pyrotechnicians can master up a personalised show just for you and your group.
And get this – you can choose when and where the magic happens. DMC Japan by KNT recently pulled off a sweet surprise for a couple celebrating their anniversary recently. They set up a private viewing area on the hotel terrace. Talk about romantic!
It’s worthwhile noting that in winter, the show is moved to Lake Shirakaba due to the migratory birds at Lake Suwa.
