Why You Should Visit

An autumn fireworks show on Lake Yogo, a small mountain-ringed lake in the north of Nagahama. It is the second stage of the Nagahama Kita-Biwako Fireworks, following the September shows off Hokoen Park, and starts at 7:30 pm on Friday 16 October. Expect underwater fireworks reflected on the lake, music-synchronised displays and star mines, with the booms echoing off the surrounding hills. You can watch for free, and there are paid seats if you want a place to sit. There is no parking near the venue, so the organisers ask visitors to come by JR train.
