This Japanese fire festival is held each year in Aomori – the northernmost prefecture on Japan’s main island of Honshu. A combination of local and international visitors gather together to observe large-scale lantern floats parade through the city. These floats or nebuta are brought to life by dancers and musicians before they are on display in the Aomori Bay on the final evening of the festival, when fireworks also light up the night sky.
