It was so wonderful that I wanted to say it out loud. It was so beautiful and I was trembling. I want to see it every year! I looked at KihokuTown 's homepage. Despite our long history and hardships, we want to leave something that the whole country can be proud of! And I want to pass it on to the next generation! The more I learned about the thoughts of the passionate people of KihokuTown, the more I fell in love with KihokuTown. So, I decided to take a photo of the beautiful sea and the boat that the people of KihokuTown have probably traveled together with. Thank you very much for hosting such a wonderful fireworks festival. “Be proud! Kihoku Saiun Suzaku”
