If the many Tokyo summer fireworks displays are a little too crowded and urban for your taste, head on down to the beach in Kamakura for this small-scale but fun and energetic local version. The colourful explosions are made even more impressive by the reflections off the surface of the water, and unimpeded views are not hard to find. The Kamakura Fireworks were in danger of being cancelled earlier this year, but local residents, companies and organisations pulled together and raised the funds necessary to keep the festival going.
