This fireworks display is held every summer in the city of Toride in southern Ibaraki Prefecture, also known as a bedroom community for Tokyo. The event began more than 60 years ago to commemorate the opening of the Tone River Bridge. At the venue in Toride Ryokuchi Undo Park on the banks of the Tone River, roughly 7,000 fireworks are launched into the night sky over the grand Tone River, filling it with multicolored light and sound. The highlight of the display is the Niagara Falls, which pours down sparks from 20 meters in the air over a length of 300 meters. Viewers are dazzled by displays of long series of mortar shells and star mines bursting one after another.
