Every city and prefecture hold a number of displays and festivals, so it can be hard to choose the best ones to see. The best hanabi, or fireworks viewings, can often be found in the less popular places in the country. We will look at some of the best hanabi that visitors to Japan can attend during the summer months, as well as other things you can see while you are in the area.
