The fireworks (which were lovely to watch with a cool breeze after dark) are over, but if you have the time and access to a car (about a hour drive from downtown Kumamoto) I highly recommend going today. The creations (floats? ) are absolutely amazing. Today they will be paraded through the main street, and I expect there will be lots of spectators but worth braving the crowds. You can park at the elementary school and the beautiful Tsuujunkyou bridge will be releasing water several times in the afternoon. It's within walking distance from the school parking lot. I will leave further glowing comments to Jane in the comments . 2023-09-02 16:00 JSTClassic Persian rugs, anyone?
