I Cried Watching This 😢 Omagari Fireworks 2025 | Japan’s Most Beautiful Pyrotechnics Competition
Highlight Reel First, lunch!
I had a big breakfast, yet I feel the need a little extra. A quiet adventure before the night sky comes alive. I found an udon shop on Google Maps. The interior is spacious, stylish
it’s like stepping onto a ship. They recommend chilled udon with tempura. Yes, finally, my hungry belly will be happy! I’ll be walking a lot for the fireworks, so I can eat as much as I want! The plating is so beautiful. but the noodles are slippery and delicate. Tonight, I’ll be walking a lot to see the fireworks
so I can savor every bite without guilt. Even picking up the noodles with chopsticks feels like a little game 🙂 This is tempura of Hinai-jidori, Akita’s premium chicken. Golden, crispy… yet tender inside. Even small details catch my attention…
almost like a refined homemade version of KFC 🙂 Many automatic doors open by pressing a button here. A simple meal, yet memorable.
Thanks for this comfort moment! Near the venue… look at all the people! Beautiful yukata everywhere. A guitarist plays, the crowd hums. So many travelers from all over. Bento dinner first… Crab, my favorite! I pre-booked reserved rooftop seats to avoid the crowds. Air-conditioned and restrooms
so comfortable and reassuring. Starting with a drone show!
We all sang karaoke together. Join me in enjoying Japan’s summer magic 🙂 Colours and shapes like living art. Elegant and soft, like willow-like bursts. This is a competition in which pyrotechnicians compete to achieve the highest scores. Fireworks masters gather from all over Japan. Colors pop. Shapes dance. Sounds vibrate. Lights fill the sky. So huge! And seven colors inside!
Each design is so beautiful. Fireworks soared to the majestic strains of Finlandia. So huge, so beautiful, almost brought me to tears. Every detail, perfectly crafted.
What a magical night! Thank you… truly moved. I picked up a Tenugui, a Japanese hand towel,
as a souvenir. Look at the cute fireworks-themed wrapping! This kind of meticulous packaging is very typical of Japan, isn’t it? Tenugui culture might be unique to Japan,
but it’s great for home decor too. Here it is!
