The Natori Hanabi Taikai is staged on the broad sandy banks of the Natori River, which flows between Sendai and the Pacific coast, offering wide unobstructed views of the sky. The program typically features over 10,000 shells including synchronized starmine finales and novelty shapes popular with families. Located just south of Sendai, Natori is easily accessible and frequently chosen as an alternative to the city's larger crowds. Post-show trains and shuttle buses are arranged for efficient crowd dispersal.
