A couple of weeks ago, me and a few of my friends from our tight-knit guest house went to Ichikawa to see the fireworks over the river. We arrived a bit later than we had hoped but we were still able to find a nice slope of grass to sit on so our legs wouldn’t go completely numb. We bought a few drinks and snacks and settled in for the display.
I have to admit, being from Sydney and seeing the Fireworks over the Harbour on New Years, I did expect too much from these ones. But when the opening flurry of 5000 rockets thundered into the sky and burst in unison. It was quite amazing seeing the sheer scale of that many fireworks lit up and booming. All in all it was a nice evening though getting back to the station with so many other people trying to do the same was tough.
