Fireworks photographed at the Ashiya Summer Carnival venue

Here are some photos of the fireworks as seen from the beach area inside the venue!
The fireworks were launched from two locations on either side of the beach. There were also lots of message fireworks from parents to their children, which were really touching!

↑In the Fukaeminamimachi area of Kobe’s Higashinada Ward, right next to Ashiya, lots of people gathered near the waterfront to watch the fireworks!

↑There were also lots of people watching the fireworks around Fukae Bridge.

↑You couldn’t see the lower fireworks, but the ones launched high into the sky were clearly visible and still quite a show!
It looks like the fireworks could also be seen from various places in neighboring Nishinomiya, on the other side of Ashiya. ↓
