This special program, offering a view of fireworks launched from the observation deck of a sightseeing boat, returns for its second year as "a new summer tradition in Maehama." Last year's "Fireworks Cruise" received more applications than available spots, with participants sharing feedback such as "The fireworks reflected on the lake surface were incredibly beautiful," "An experience you can't have anywhere else," and "Being able to see the fireworks up close was truly moving." Highlights from last year are available to view on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DMxLlk2PiyY/ Fireworks launched from the observation deck of the sightseeing boat (scene from last year) The fireworks viewed from the quietly cruising, battery-powered sightseeing boat offer a calm and special atmosphere distinct from the lively festival grounds. With fireworks spreading across the night sky, their reflections shimmering on the lake surface, and—under favorable conditions—a starry sky overhead, this evening promises to become a deeply cherished summer memory in Maehama. As participation is limited to a small number of guests, interested individuals are encouraged to apply early and enjoy this new summer tradition in Maehama Town.
