Burn! Youth League of the Society of Commerce and Industry!! Kōnosu Fireworks Festival
event
Event Dates
Mid-October of 2019
“Kōnosu City Youth League of the Society and Commerce,”” consisting of local store and business owners, as well as young upcoming entrepreneurs, volunteer to organize a display of fireworks, not only to develop the area’s commerce and industry but also to give children dreams and hopes.
This is not an administration-led event; it was started through a voluntary movement to gather funds with planning, management, and cleaning after the event finishes, all performed by the approximately 50 young members. This makes it a unique event in Japan where 100% of the fireworks are handmade.
As of today, many volunteer staff of all ages gathers from within the city, making it a fireworks display in which citizens partake.

A poppy flower field that initially was planted as a campaign to prevent illegal dumping. With about 12.5 hectares, it is the largest in Japan. At the Poppy Festival in mid-May, you can enjoy refreshments, regional vegetables, and of course, flower picking! The view of Mt. Fuji from under the Onari bridge by the Arakawa river, where the field can be found, is known as one of the best views of Mt. Fuji. A truly spectacular and scenic view of red, pink, and orange poppies blooming all around you.
This is the main shrine of Konosu City, where the legend of the konotori (stork), also believed to be the origin of the cities name, has been handed down to this day. In 1873, Raiden Shrine, Kumano Shrine, and Hikawa Shrine were combined to form Kou Shrine. At the end of the year, they hold a Tori no Ichi fair (festival celebrating good fortune and business prosperity).
This is one of the largest flower markets in eastern Japan. There is a guided course through the market facility, allowing anyone to easily observe the auction (Monday/Wednesday/Friday). There is also a restaurant inside the facility.
The temple was rebuilt by Seigon Shonin at the end of the 16th century and became one of eighteen monk training schools for the Jodo sect. As a temple associated with the Tokugawa Shogunate, the use of the "three-leaf hollyhock crest" was permitted. There are many cultural assets on the temple grounds that tell the ancient history in the present day. They hold the "Ten Nights Memorial Service," one of the three major memorial services in Kanto, every year on November 14, and the "Doll Memorial Service," unique to this town which is known for its hina dolls.
This roadside station, with a play tower designed to resemble a strawberry castle, is easy for families to stop by. Goods such as fresh dorayaki made from Yoshimi grown strawberries are available for purchase. It is also a popular place to take a break and enjoy a delicious soft-serve ice cream.
