One of the most popular celebrations in Japan during summer is the Fireworks Festival (Hanabi in Japanese) which there are many events held from July and August( Obon ) to September.
This summer tradition began in the Edo period when people wore the national Japanese Yukata costume. Fireworks symbolize hope, drive away evil spirits, and bring good luck. Currently, some Japanese or even foreign tourists wear Yukata during the fireworks festival to experience the traditional Japanese fireworks and enjoy some activities in the event such as shows, entertainment, and summer foods and drinks.
During this season, many places in Japan have big fireworks events that boast about 20,000 colorful fireworks with different designs that light up the sky, which Japanese people enjoy and excited about. And if you are planning to attend a fireworks event in Osaka, I suggest to book early to get a good spot to see the fireworks. In this article, I will share some best fireworks events in Osaka.

Greetings to all mommies I am a supermom from Philippines. Previously, I worked and lived in Dubai for seven years, until 2015 the year I moved in Japan. Currently, I am happily settled here with my Japanese husband and our 7 months old baby. I could only describe my almost 6 years of living here as a roller coaster ride more so, after I gave birth to my son. Japan had changed me in ways unimaginable. It has influence my lifestyle, my perceptions and beliefs. I was able to witness firsthand the pros and cons of living in the country. From their language, culture and ethnicity, the people, place and in work. Those years were enough to give me quite personal and memorable experiences which I would be more than delighted to share with you.
