Fireworks festivals across Japan are trending on Twitter!

On July 22, the "Nippon Hanabies Management Office"—a collaboration between 10 regional newspapers nationwide and Twitter Japan—launched the "Nippon Hanabies" campaign on Twitter to energize 10 fireworks festivals across Japan (scheduled to run until August 31).

This limited-time project, themed "Enjoy Fireworks Through Twitter," uses the special Twitter account @hanabies_jp to engage participants in real-time, share live footage and atmosphere with those unable to attend, and amplify excitement for fireworks across Japan.

Additionally, a campaign is running where tweeting with the hashtag "#花火" and the specific hashtag for each fireworks event can win you gifts related to the local area hosting the event.
