What to expect

"A spectacular view where fireworks and Lake Biwa intertwine"──Japan’s proud fireworks, reflected on the night sky and Lake Biwa, will display an unparalleled beautiful scenery. The Lake Biwa Fireworks Festival ranked 2nd nationwide in the “Most Worth Seeing Fireworks Festivals” ranking, and has almost consistently held the top spot in popularity in the Kansai region. This itinerary not only includes the fireworks festival, but also a visit to “Arashiyama,” which has been selected as the No. 1 “Most Popular Japanese Tourist Spot for Foreigners” for 6 consecutive years. In addition, we will also visit the manufacturing factory of “KyoBaum,” a dessert highly favored by overseas travelers, which cleverly combines Japanese-style Uji matcha with Western-style baumkuchen. There’s also a chance to receive a beautiful small gift on site!

Review for: Fireworks Festival One-Day Tour (including special Japanese BBQ bento)

The 40th-anniversary fireworks, plus the light show, were quite good. The downside of this tour was that it didn't include a meal or provide lunch boxes.

Review for: One-day trip to the Fireworks Festival

Regarding the August 6, 2026 tour, both the tour leader and the other young staff member were extremely dedicated! Initially, we went to the wrong spot at the fireworks venue, and the other young tour leader patiently waited for us to return to the correct location.

Review for: Fireworks Festival One-Day Tour (including special Japanese BBQ bento)

This was my first time attending a Japanese fireworks festival, and I was fortunate that the overall flow and seating arrangements were well-planned. Our tour guide, Mr. Hsieh, was very gentle, friendly, and had high emotional intelligence. Traveling with his group was very comfortable and highly recommended!
