The Lake Toya Long-Run Fireworks is one of Japan's most extraordinary fireworks events, launching a 20-minute display over the lake every night from late April through to the end of October — over 150 consecutive nights. Shells are fired from a barge on the tranquil caldera lake, with the surrounding volcanic mountains and lakeside onsen hotels providing a breathtaking panorama. Guests staying at the famous lakefront resort hotels can watch from private room balconies or dedicated viewing terraces. The tradition has continued for decades, making it a beloved symbol of Toyako Onsen.
