Watch water and aerial fireworks compete on the lake, enjoy the spectacular reflections of light on the water's surface

About this spot

The climax of the Tase Lake Festival, the Water & Air Fireworks Grand Show, unfolds as a major summer event staged on a quiet mountain lake. Aerial fireworks launched from the lake burst large in the night sky with sound echoing off surrounding mountains, delivering a power that resonates through your very core. Water fireworks flash just above the lake surface, spreading a semicircle of light, and their competition with their inverted reflections on the lake creates a spectacular sight unique to Tase Lake. A taste of Iwate's summer tradition—fireworks enjoyed in nature surrounded by mountains and lake, unlike typical urban fireworks displays.

Tips

Always verify the start time on the day's official announcement. Regarding cancellation due to bad weather, follow the official festival announcement. After the show ends, roads around the venue will be congested, so it is recommended to enjoy the afterglow at the lakeside and depart at staggered times. Since the ground becomes dark, a small light is reassuring.

Best time to visit

Times correspond to the event start time. Arrive at the viewing area 30 minutes before the start for a comfortable wait.
