Sumida River Fireworks Festival and more

Yesterday, I attended the Sumida River Fireworks Festival (in Sumida). This event takes place annually and features a fireworks show that lasts for about 1 hour at various locations. Pictures can’t capture the spectacle quite as well.
What’s interesting are the preparations for it. Certain areas are closed off, and streets are made accessible only to pedestrians. Order officials are everywhere, loudly giving organizational instructions. Also, afterwards, when everyone wants to go home, many train stations are heavily monitored to manage the crowds as efficiently as possible.

On other days, I also visited Ojima Park and checked out various things, including a fire truck. In Japan, everything is a bit smaller, especially garbage trucks. Unfortunately, I can’t always take pictures of everything, but interested people can feel free to experience it in person :).
