RAW JAPAN Comment
You might be thinking, “Fireworks in autumn?”
Surprisingly, autumn is actually the best season for it. The air is crisp and clear, making the night sky sharper—and the fireworks more vivid than in summer.
And this time, Yamazaki Fireworks Co. is going all-in for their Hokkaido debut.
With 18,000 fireworks bursting in sync with music, this is the kind of show you don’t just watch—you feel it in your chest.
Side note: The last time I was in Hokkaido was for a school trip. I thought we’d be “skiing,” but it felt more like a survival exercise.
Turns out, snow isn’t as soft as it looks.
