Suwa city is a small town away in the middle of Nagano prefecture. For such a small town though it is home to a lot of interesting festivals and events.
There is a Great fireworks festival in the middle of August which is huge. The small city of Suwa, with a population of roughly 50,000 people, often has an influx of 500,000 visitors during this festival. Then, in the beginning of September, there is the Shin-saku or “experimental” fireworks festival.
