Iwatsuki Fireworks 2023
In 2022, Saitama City had some ‘surprise fireworks’ that lasted about five minutes each. But 2023 is the first time in four years that they will have ‘normal’ firework displays. They have not released any other information yet, stating that ‘the finer details will be announced nearer to the time’.
Don’t miss the wind chimes at Hisaizu Shrine. And if you come early with kids, they might enjoy Iwatsuki Castle Park which is only about a ten to fifteen minute walk from the fireworks venue.
