[Shizuoka] Hand-held Fireworks Festival on July18 or 19, 2025 Toyokawa, JP

• Hand-held fireworks, TEZUTSU, is so thrilling. A magnificent column of flames erupts from the bamboo stuffed with Iron powder and finally a flame called “hane” creates a large boom while erupting. Many local people gather for this autum festival. On summer festival day, lots of TEZUTSU will be dedicated to the shrine.
• We meet at Toyohashi station, then take local JR train to Toyokawa station. It takes 16 minutes.
• It 's about 5 minutes walk from Toyokawa station to the festival site. This tour is cancelled in case of rain. We decide it on 18:00, July 20.

This large Inari shrine was founded about 700 years ago. At the back of this shrine, there is a very mysterious place where many stone statues of foxes are enshrined. Be sure to take pictures with the many foxes here.
