Chichibu Yomatsuri

There is nothing small about the town of Chichibu over this weekend as the skies are brightly lit with the blaze of thousands of fireworks. The town sees colourful floats marching through to the cheers of celebratory locals as families from all around Japan, and especially Tokyo, come to join in one of Japan's most famous fireworks evenings. There will be plenty of food and drink available at the stalls around the town.
