Nagara River Fireworks Festival

Intiated by my tutor, the initial plan was to go to Nagoya Castle, Nagoya Acquarium and Tokukawa Museaum. But, it was changed to this fireworks festival (長良川全国花火大会) at Nagara river bed, Gifu prefecture. According to what I was told, the festival displayed about 30,000 fireworks over 1 hour and 45 minutes with around 40,000 viewers. Believe it or not? I didn't count, though. Regardless of the number of fireworks, the festivity is just like that of Water Festival.
