TOKYO, Japan & NEW YORK - ncarol.com -- Fireworks are symbol of summer in Japan, but this year, two locations along the Tobu Railway, will be celebrating a bit more than usual.

Kinugawa Onsen, located approximately two hours north of Tokyo via Tobu Railway, will celebrate its 330th anniversary this year. As part of the commemorative events, fireworks will be set off, not only during the summer season, but every Saturday from July through December! The fireworks display, titled

Hyakka Ryouran Hanabi - Kinugawa Enka," will begin at 9:00 pm. These brilliant night-sky light displays transition seasonally amid midsummer nights, long autumn nights, and clear winter air, so it's even worth coming back for a second viewing later in the year.

Kinugawa Onsen is a historic hot spring, where only Buddhist monks and feudal lords visiting Nikko were allowed to enter during the Edo period (1603-1867). However, since opening to the public from the Meiji restoration (1868), it began attracting tourists. Today, it is one of the largest hot spring resorts in the Kanto region, with inns and hotels lining the Kinugawa River Valley. Its alkaline waters soothe neuralgia, stiff shoulders, fatigue, and in general promote good health. Other attractions in the area include the rich nature, manmade theme parks, such as Edo Wonderland and Tobu World Square, and the World Heritage Sites of Nikko (30-minutes by car).
