Firework and Traditional Summer Festivals in Japan 2013 Here's a list of Firework and Traditional Summer Festivals in Japan 2013. Fireworks, or hanabi, is one of the summer treasures in Japan and it's a great way to spend your summer nights. Of course you can go in a T-shirt and a pair of flip-flops but it'll be even better in a yukata (a lighter, cotton kimono worn in the summer season). Event details are subject to change, so please visit each site for the latest updates.
