Fireworks Saturday 2024-25

Did you know that winter fireworks have a unique charm compared to summer fireworks? The crisp, cold air makes the fireworks appear more vivid and sharp, creating a stunning display in the night sky. Especially at ski resorts, the contrast between the fireworks and the snowy landscape is breathtaking—it feels like a scene from a dream.

This winter, you can enjoy weekly fireworks shows every Saturday night at Hanazono. Watching the fireworks alongside the resort's giant Christmas tree and the gondola's light displays is a truly magical experience. Plus, with night skiing available, you can enjoy the fireworks from the mountaintop or even while skiing down the slopes—a view that's extra special. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind winter fireworks experience!
