4. Ariake Sea Fireworks
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 10 reviews
This fireworks display is held in the city of Yanagawa, facing the bay on the Ariake Sea. The launching site and viewing area are very close to each other, giving a feeling that the large fireworks are even bigger. The greatest highlights of the show are the "Sky Niagara Yanagawa Special" that travels about one kilometer, and the starmine viewed at a wide angle. In addition to the usual venue, barbecue seats are available for a fee, and tons of fun can be had in the evening before the show at various shops and events.

We visited Yanagawa Tachibana Ohana during our trip to Fukuoka. There is a museum full of small details and varieties of collections of Tachibana family over 400 years. Also they have beautiful Japanese garden and restaurant overviewing the garden. The restaurant serve the yummy traditional Japanese grilled eel with rice. We enjoyed our time at Yanagawa Ohana.
