Since the spread of the new coronavirus, the largest fireworks display in Japan was held in Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture, the area affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, and more than 10,000 fireworks colored the night sky.
This "Sanriku Fireworks Festival" was planned by about 20 volunteers, including members of a town development organization in Rikuzentakata City, to liven up the area.
At 7:00 pm, fireworks of various colors and sizes were launched one after another from near the seawall to the music.
According to the organizer, while fireworks festivals were canceled in various places due to the influence of the new virus, fireworks were collected from all over the country this time, and a total of more than 10,000 fireworks were launched.
The bleachers were damaged by the tsunami, and the newly rebuilt baseball stadium and soccer stadium were used to measure the temperature of all spectators and sit at intervals to take thorough measures against infection.
11,000 spectators from all over the country gathered at the venue, and cheers were raised by the colorful fireworks with a maximum diameter of 300 meters.
A woman who traveled from Tokyo said, "I didn't expect to see such a wonderful fireworks display. I had given up on the fireworks display, so I was touched today."
Katsuhiro Asama, the executive committee chairman of the fireworks display, said, "The goal was to make people who visited the fireworks aware of the various attractions of this town, but I think it was a success. I would like to hold a fireworks display next year as well." I was talking.
