Hanabi Taikai, or Fireworks Festivals are held throughout Japan during the summer months. They are festive and a lot of fun. They are also super crowded and can be extremely stressful.
Showa Kinen Park located on Tachikawa, is a good place to come and enjoy the fireworks in Tokyo. It’s a bit removed form the city center and the park is huge, making it the perfect venue to accommodate all the people. This video shows you what it’s like to go to one.

I really enjoy this channel as I can hear the ambience and people chit-chats on the background as if I am there with you guys experiencing this video. Plus, the subtitle describing everything honestly. Domo arigato gozaimasu for making this channel in addition to your TabiEats one! I subscribed both but I enjoy this one more. 🙏🤓

Another great channel, Shinichi. Such a fascinating look at Japanese life. One of these days I would so love to visit Japan.

[@yeevita]

Beautiful! Amazing shots of the fireworks and the crowd. Love seeing the crowd, yukatas and other traditional clothing. Actually, just love seeing everyone having a good time on a lovely summer night. Thank you!

[@nutcasefruitcake]

Been following your main channel for years now, but I just wanted to say that this channel is perfect for watching something while I'm blow drying my hair (Since I can't hear audio anyways!) :)

[@paulagonzalez7236]

The “ooohhhhh” and “aaaahhhh” and laughter is the same in every language thank you for a wonderful glimpse into your lives...I love fireworks 💥

[@cycg1935]

Thank you for sharing, we dont have such events here where you can picnic in a park watching fireworks. It was lovely. Looks like you guys had a great time.

[@mindysmom6132]

I love the direction, in which this one channel is going, brother! You’re definitely a much better person, than I am. Those were way too many people for me.......Especially, on a hot summer night! Thank you for sharing! The fireworks were beautiful!

[@erinuber2881]

Hi Shinichi! Congratulations on your new channel - it looks like it will be really great! The first video is a treat, watching the beautiful fireworks. That was such a great fireworks show, with so many different types of fireworks! There were many people there, for sure, but hopefully it was worth dealing with the crowd. I'm glad you could have a snack afterward. Best wishes for the new channel!

[@sarahdiane359]

The sounds of summer in this video are warming me up right now as I am living in the dead of winter where I am. Had to go back and watch this one again. It was a feast for my ears (and eyes!).

[@achrafassal277]

well same , i love the vibe in this kind of festivals

[@Scriptor13]

An excited, happy, and orderly summer crowd with so many people in traditional garb in a beautiful setting--so lovely to see! And such gorgeous bursts and cascades of color in the night sky. Just amazing. Thank you for taking us along, Shinichi! This is the perfect video to begin a successful new channel.

[@protusRPh]

Great video! I love the ambient sound POV style!

[@williamratcliffe7794]

That was awesome. Thank you for posting that!!

[@hilloe]

Lots of memories surfaced . Thank you. :)

[@ichielive]

We got to see fireworks earlier this month. It was the first time in years I've been able to do that. They were great but your view was even better. It looked like you both had a great evening out.

[@kennethtyler6674]

Thank you. I love fireworks. Please, take us along on future adventures.

[@esther848]

[@user-zg3ow3qi2w]

Some of this fireworks looks like a fairy tale flowers. Grandiose!

[@eg1197]

[@cecilwhite6444]

I love love the fireworks...it was awesome! 💖😊 Thank you...it felt like I'm there with you guys...☺

[@holotori_senior_admin_teno]

I actually went to a summer Japanese festival with fireworks here in Minnesota a couple years back! The park wasn't as large, unfortunately, so there wasn't as much room for blankets and such. But it was fun! There were crafts, a Japanese dance troupe, and a speech by the mayor of Nagasaki about cultural exchange (Nagasaki and Saint Paul are the oldest official sister cities in the world). If only summer wasn't so hot and buggy!

[@Snowy5539]

Nice fireworks. Thanks for this video :-)

[@richasharma3494]

STUNNING!!! it's my dream to be in Japan during summer :(

[@jeanham211]

[@huntergourdie2785]

This is really relaxing

[@ladymurasaki370]

Loved the fireworks! So beautiful! That's slot of money they burned! 🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜

[@tiasmom6225]

What a great video to kick off your new channel. One thing I noticed about the people attending this fireworks display, is they were all respectful of walking in front of people sitting and watching, there were no rowdy people drinking too much and causing trouble. It was a very nice atmosphere. Great for families. Seems like anymore in the states, there are people who just want to cause trouble rather than enjoy the show.😔

[@suespray4814]

Ooo fireworks! Congrats on ur third channel. Love ya!

[@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood]

Thanks. Love ya too!!!

[@glennaharris1536]

Very beautiful and crowded.

[@peachesto6643]

Thank you so much. That was absolutely lovely

[@user-fc4px2ol1k]

It's a good video that really conveys the atmosphere. Fireworks are the art of color and sound, aren't they? You can feel the impact on your body when you actually go to see it.

[@RoTheEvil]

Gonna experience this next summer if all goes as planned! 😊

[@AllSeeingScorpio]

Thank you for sharing! 💖

[@phengov943]

Nice daily vlog type of video, we only have guy fawkes in NZ but people buy fireworks and light them off at home, not a big fireworks display usually. Also new years eve there is a fireworks in the octagon in Dunedin, to celebrate the new year.

[@florenceleow7493]

I have subscribed to this channel:) Take care, Shinichi and Satoshi.🌿💮🙋🏻‍♀️

[@Nynke_K]

Ooh, Tachikawa! I didn't recognise the name of the park until I saw the sign and read the place name (2 of the few kanji that I know). Looks like a park I should explore when I'm in town for the second time. It looks large in the map, but not a large as it apparently is in walking distances! And I loved the fireworks :)

[@adrianfhreza1142]

Ahh, i want to feel that so badly, it has to be so fun with friends

Saw you had a new channel so I had to sub. I’m surprised I’m only the 25th to sub. This channel will take off I’m sure.

There's nothing like a 花火大会! I hope you do another one this year.

[@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood]

Unfortunately hanabi has been cancelled this year due to covid

[@Christmas__365]

The park is very spacious and looked almost completely packed! There were a lot of people. Did the people outside the park not want to take the 30 minute walk into the actual park? Thank you so much for sharing the fireworks display. I didn’t get to see it for 4th of July here since I was flying for work

[@user-hw5qf5ur6k]

暑いし歩くし割りと苦行だったでしょwでも迫力あったでしょー😆

No matter where you live in the world all people make the same sounds when watching fireworks.

[@deadhomer8468]

In the states we usually only have fireworks displays for New year's and the fourth of July.

[@ae0nia]

In britain we only have guy fawkes night, and new year's

[@yeevita]

Also places like baseball parks, disneyland.

[@ridzuanihsan59]

in Malaysia, every house usually will have their own firework/firecracker on every big feast/celebration like Raya (Eid), Deepavali, Christmas, CNY and so on. we also have formal firework show on Independence Day (Ambang Merdeka), Malaysian Day and New Year.

[@syahirahfarhanah707]

:') i love japan so much! aaaa

[@ThePiperrox]

Wow! Look at all the people! What a beautiful park ! Ohhhhh the clouds! Those bugs are so loud!!! Holy smokes that’s a lot of people! Wow people brought tents even! Lol Toes!!!! Here come the fireworks!!!! SPLENDID!! Loved this!!!

[@MB-xj8jv]

The fireworks were so pretty 😭😭 It’s been yrs since I’ve seen fireworks like in person (I’ve heard fireworks sometimes bcs of my neighbours only lol). They don’t allow fireworks to be sold in my country sadly (unless you smuggle 😳) :(( but there was this one time they arranged a fireworks show but it kinda failed bcs all the smoke went to where the crowds were

[@yeetboy8671]

i need to see this in person

[@Zakatak360]

I had to look up the park and it's a no brainer why the walk was so long. It's almost 400 acres (160 hectares)!!! That looks so fun though. One day I'll visit Japan, one day soon!

[@ForeverInBlossom]

It look like Japan always have some kind of festivals 2020

[@lazydragon9819]

A lot of the ladies have very beautiful attire.

[@trieutran4521]

Thank you sir

[@kimyunjin9331]

Last one is so damn Beautiful

[@songohan4668]

I would say that the long walk in and out the park worths it. I liked the fire work show a lot along with the girls in yukata.

[@cykablyat1881]

So this is what Shinomiya wants to see.

[@tahnoyu-ah]

Anybody else wishes to come here with their loved ones?

[@rajasrivastava41]

it's Diwali here in India someone just posted a hanabi fireworks whatsapp status it just reminded me of those fireworks that happens in anime..those japan's festivals and so i thought of watching real one not the anime and i ended up here after watching 1-2 videos

[@lauratroft5959]
