Okazaki Fireworks Festival and Places Associated with Ieyasu

Okazaki City is the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu and a castle town with many historical points of interest centered around Okazaki Castle. The summer Okazaki Fireworks Festival carries on the tradition of Mikawa fireworks, and the beauty of its water fireworks—including goldfish fireworks and Niagara displays—ranks among the finest in the nation. At the Ieyasu Hall inside Okazaki Castle, you can learn about Ieyasu's life through experiential exhibits. As a town of miso culture, you can also enjoy tours of Hacchou miso warehouses.
