Sakata Fireworks Show (酒田花火ショー)
This is the largest fireworks display in the Tohoku region, held in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture. The night sky above the Mogami River is colored from the approximately 12,000 rounds of large-shelled fireworks launched in time with music, character fireworks that children enjoy, and many other colorful fireworks. The ultra-wide starmine that spreads for two kilometers in the sky and the large aerial Niagara Falls are the major highlights of the display.

Yamagata Areas

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
