The Higashiyama Onsen fireworks display offers one of Tohoku's most atmospheric pyrotechnic experiences, with shells launched above the forested valley of this venerable hot-spring resort on the outskirts of Aizuwakamatsu. Guests at the traditional ryokan inns can watch the display from private rotenburo outdoor baths or inn balconies overlooking the gorge, combining the pleasure of onsen bathing with vivid aerial color. The intimate scale and ryokan setting make this a premium experience distinct from large riverside events.
