Enjoy fireworks launched from Suwa Lake and the beautiful reflected fireworks on the lake's surface

About this spot

Suwa Lake Summer Night Fireworks is a fireworks festival held nightly at 8:30 PM from July 24 to August 23, representing summer in Suwa. The fireworks launched from boats on Suwa Lake have a striking impact as their sound reverberates off the surrounding mountains and resonates through your body. The beauty of "reflected fireworks" mirrored in the still lake is a unique spectacle of lakeside launches. The large chrysanthemums opening in the clear high-altitude night sky are vividly colored, and viewed in the cool night breeze at 750 meters altitude, they offer a clarity distinctly different from urban fireworks displays. Since the festival is held nightly, if weather concerns you, you can consider attending on a subsequent day, offering reassurance unique to this festival.

Tips

Whether the show proceeds depends on weather conditions on the day; always check the official announcement from Suwa City Tourism Association or similar official sources. After the show ends, the path back to Kamsuwa Station becomes crowded. It's recommended to linger and enjoy the afterglow on the lakeside before heading back at a staggered time. Check the final train time on the JR Chuo Main Line in advance.
