The Ryukyu Kaien Festival, held in April when the beach season opens in Okinawa Prefecture, is themed as "Japan's earliest summer fireworks display." It was a major event that attracted more than 1 visitors to see the spectacular show in which 2 fireworks were launched in time with music, but due to the impact of the coronavirus, the event was held at a different time and on a different scale in 2020 and 2021.

In 2022, they're making a comeback to their home base in Ginowan! The event is scheduled for Sunday, July 3rd.
With many events, including the Ryukyu Kaien Festival, entrance ceremonies, and graduation ceremonies, having to be canceled or scaled down, it is very gratifying to see things returning to how they were before the pandemic.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Okinawa's return to Japan.
Let us launch magnificent fireworks into the night sky, imbued with wishes for peace, recovery, and hope for the future.
