Watch Approximately 2,000 Fireworks Reflected on Lake Suwa from the Lakeshore
About this spot
The fireworks festival held on August 16, 2026 (Sunday) at Okaya Lakeside Park's multipurpose plaza on the shores of Lake Suwa. Approximately 2,000 fireworks will light up the night sky, and you can enjoy "reverse fireworks" as the fireworks are reflected in the quiet lake's surface. The echo of sound created by the surrounding mountains in the basin adds to the impact. A fitting finale on the lake that brings a full day of enjoying Okaya to a satisfying close.
