I love Hanabi - Fireworks in Japan

17:40

Summer in Japan is filled with hanabi (fireworks), however for numerous reasons, we seemed to miss all the fireworks near our place this summer. Either they didn't start until way past G's bedtime and were far away, or we were not in town. Luckily, a couple of weekends ago they have a fireqorks festival at a hotel right near our house, starting at a reasonable time and we were home to see them! It was G's first experience seeing real fireworks (not the kind you buy from the convenience store and do on the beach) and he LOVED it.

Unfortunately all these photos were taken with my iPhone, so the quality isn't great, but you get the idea...
