![]() 90 minutes seem to just fly by in the blink of an eye.įrom a foreigner's point of view, it's incredible: from how orderly people are while getting out of the stations, how they pick up their own rubbish, to the hospitality they extend to everyone. Once it gets dark, commentary over the PA systems is heard and music starts to play in sync with the fireworks. The whole atmosphere is awesome and it comes with the orange glow from the setting of the evening sun. You'll feel like you know everyone else even though you just met, and laughter is heard all around. Everyone who attends contributes food or drinks to share. It's a fun experience to be able to enjoy this much like the locals do. Anything placed before that will be removed by a security patrol teams. I've read that rules have been set up and sheets are only allowed to be placed from afternoon, the day prior. Picnic mats/sheets are a serious matter as some people stake their space up to a couple days prior to the actual event. I was lucky to be invited to share a picnic mat with other friends. ![]() For the full festival experience, you can dress in yukatas (summer cotton kimono) and buy food from the many yatai stores (food stalls) just by the river banks. On one side of the river is Ichikawa City, Chiba, and the other side is Edogawa-ku, Tokyo, which makes the show more fun as both sides try to outdo each other. I found out later it is actually 2 fireworks shows held together and the Edo river runs through the middle. This particular fireworks festival happens every year on the first Saturday of August. I went to a previous Edogawa Hanabi Taikai. Starting mid/end July and throughout August, there are many 'Hanabi Taikai' (fireworks festival) around Tokyo and other places, something essentially linked to summer. Skymagic has delivered choreographed drone shows across the world and is the first company to deliver drone light shows in the UK, Japan, Greece, Morocco, Azerbaijan, Switzerland, Qatar and the UAE.We've all probably seen fireworks displays before and I guess most people may not work viewing a fireworks festival into their travel itinerary so it came as a big surprise, a very pleasant one, when I attended one of the many fireworks festivals in the Tokyo area. The large LED module is equipped with a light intensity that can be seen from more than 1.5km away. In addition, by optimising the movement speed of the drones with a unique system, it is possible to develop very fast and accurate formations. The outdoor drones independently developed by Skymagic are equipped with RTK technology (real-time kinematics), which enables position control with even higher accuracy than GPS, making it possible to draw high-definition formations in the sky. The show was also live-streamed on the day and filmed using drone cameras. The audience was able to interact with the display when a huge scannable QR code was formed by the drones in the middle of the show. Accompanied by music, this section of the show was designed to celebrate overcoming a global pandemic and looking ahead to a brighter future. Some of the formations displayed included a majestic whale leaping from waves, a magnificent phoenix and an animated Kabuki mask in motion. ![]() The rest of the show depicted formations of life in a diverse array of forms, including creatures from nature, symbols of traditional Japanese culture and motifs unique to Osaka, collectively telling the story of the Expo’s theme: Designing a Future Society for our Lives, and celebrating the brilliance and diversity of life.
