The annual festival, which typically attracts over 600,000 visitors, featured a record-breaking display of shaku-dama fireworks, measuring approximately 30 centimeters in diameter. Accompanying the fireworks was a demonstration flight by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's Blue Impulse aerobatic team.
