Serendipitous fireworks show!

Usually in the summer, fireworks show are held all over the place in Japan. The largest fireworks displays shoot off 10,000 to 40,000 fireworks.

Crowding is inevitable at any fireworks show. To prevent infection, most fireworks shows were cancelled last year.
We thought it would be sad not to be able to see fireworks in the summer, but it couldn't be helped.

However, a wonderful plan was put in place last year. 

✨The fireworks shows are full of serendipitous surprises.✨
The date, time, and location are not announced in advance.
One day, somewhere out of the blue, fireworks will be set off.

Everyone was delighted with this nifty idea, even though it was by no means as large as the usual fireworks display.

These fireworks were also shot off in places where fireworks shows are not usually held.
I could hear the fireworks from my house, and I couldn't help but go outside and look around.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the fireworks, but my family and friends who live far away sent me pictures of the fireworks.

It seems that the surprise fireworks shows will be held again this year.
 I'm going to wait with excitement.

The origin of the fireworks show
The origin of fireworks show dates back to the Edo period in Japan. During the cholera epidemic, fireworks were set off for the first time to memorialize the souls of the deceased and to ward off evil diseases.

Yebisu beer speciality bar in Kyoto

Does anyone here like beer? I like Yebisu beer the best. What is Yebis? Yebisu is the name of this god. He is the god of good fortune who brings prosperity in fishing and business. Yebisu Bar Kyoto Yodobashi  In front of Kyoto station, there is a Yebisu beer speciality bar. In this bar, we can enjoy some kind of Yebisu beer. Here is the menu. There are so many different kinds, it's hard to decide. I chose one based on the chart for acidity and richness. It looked so good that I forgot to take a picture and just took a sip.😂 The beer foam is fine and delicious! Yebisu floated up from the coaster after I enjoyed beer.💕 There is an Yebisu figurine at the counter. . If you look closely, you'll see that Ebisu is holding a beer! Hahaha🤣 Offering money to the gods is probably the Japanese style. May you be blessed.✨ −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− Yebisu Bar Kyoto Yodobashi  Address Kyoto Yodobashi 1F, 590
