・Toyohashi Fireworks Festival
The Toyohashi Fireworks Festival originated from the Mikawa Yoshida Fireworks, one of the three major fireworks festivals in Japan during the Edo period. The Yoshida Shrine that organizes the festival is the birthplace of Japanese hand-held fireworks. The most special thing about the Toyohashi Fireworks Festival is that the competitive fireworks are set off continuously from daytime until 7 o'clock in the evening when the festival starts. The sound of fireworks explosions can be heard continuously in the town. Since the fireworks are launched from the surface of the Toyokawa River, the second feature of the Toyohashi Fireworks Festival, the "Kawabata Stage", also officially debuts. Fireworks are launched from three different locations using boats, and different decorative fireworks will be launched continuously during the 2 hours of the fireworks display, which is very spectacular. The finale is the "Large Fireworks Sea", which creates a 140-meter-long sea of fireworks on the surface of the Toyokawa River! Combined with the reflection on the water, it is magnificent and touching!

*The fireworks display will continue until the evening, so please prepare relevant lighting equipment just in case.
*Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes on the day of the fireworks display.

・Toyokawa Inari
Toyokawa Inari is one of the three major Inari in Japan and is very effective in praying for business prosperity. The official name is "Myogon-ji Temple". Since it was built about 580 years ago in the Muromachi period (1441), it has been worshipped by local generals such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Currently, about five million people come to worship every year. After visiting the main hall, you can visit the fox tomb where a stone statue of a fox is placed. Originally this was a place for offering fox statues, but now it is densely packed with more than 1,000 fox stone statues of various sizes offered by believers, which is very spectacular and special.
