What is the Dream Fireworks and Sound Festival?
[Dream Fireworks and Sound Festival] is held every Saturday in February at Omachi Onsen Village in the Hakuba Valley region of Japan.
This is an attractive event that can be enjoyed especially during this coldest season of the year.
In the cold winter, the air is clear, you can see the night view and starry sky in the distance, and you can hear the sounds. This event is a great chance to experience it for yourself!
The fireworks make a powerful sound, as if competing with winter fireworks and Japanese drums, and the colors of the fireworks are vivid and very beautiful.
February 2024 dates
In 2024, it will be held every Saturday in February as usual.
The content of the event differs on each date. On the first day of the event, February 3rd, we will also hold a local traditional event called Dondoyaki.
Dondo-yaki is an event in which lucky charms used during the New Year are collected and burned to pray for good health.
*Okiage means to purify items that are filled with feelings and cannot be thrown away by burning them after offering a prayer.
The combination of snow and fire is sure to soothe you.
At this event's [Dondo-yaki] event, messages from message candles that visitors wrote their wishes at last year's event will also be cooked. The message can be prayed at Sengokuji Temple in Omachi Onsen Village. Messages will also be accepted on message candles at the venue for all dates (participation is free). If you see one, please write down your sincere wishes.

How to enjoy this event
I think that the main character of the Dream Fireworks and Sound Festival is, above all else, the sound.
The sound of Japanese drums goes well with the colorful fireworks that shoot up into the clear winter night sky. And then there's the sound.
Enjoy the powerful sound performance.
Hot springs are the best way to warm up your cold body after an event. Enjoy the event at your leisure while staying at Omachi Onsenkyo, where many hot spring inns are located.
If you're lucky enough to have snow and experience snow, it's sure to become an even more unforgettable memory.
Kamakuras made of snow appear every year, so you can get a feel for the snow country. Candlelight creates a magical space.
*Kamakura is a type of kamakura that has been passed down in areas with a lot of snow, and is made by collecting snow and cutting holes into it.
Notes on enjoying the event
This is an event under the winter night sky. Please be careful about what you wear.
We recommend wearing layers of down coats or ski wear. Although it has a nice atmosphere, we do not recommend wearing the inn's yukata.
