Held annually in mid-August, this huge fireworks display is a joint production between the city of Hashima in Gifu prefecture, situated on the west bank of the Kiso River, and Ichinomiya in Aichi prefecture, situated on the river's east side. About 5,000 dazzling fireworks-including wide starmines, reverse Niagaras, and huge 2-shakudama fireworks, the largest in the Tokai region-are launched from the floodplains upstream from the Nobio Ohashi bridge to light up the night sky. The celebrated Makiwara-Bune ships, each decorated with about 400 paper lanterns, also float down the river during the festival, making for an otherworldly sight.
