Tosashimizu City's summer festival culminates in a hanabi display launched over the Pacific Ocean near Cape Ashizuri, Japan's southernmost mainland extremity. The dramatic cliffscape and lighthouse backdrop make the setting exceptionally photogenic, with coloured shells cascading over churning dark seas. The festival includes Tosa-style music, whale-watching themed floats, and the hearty katsuo no tataki bonito cuisine that defines Kochi culinary culture.
