Welcome to Japan Tag 2025 – 日本デー (Japan Day) in Düsseldorf, Germany! This year I filmed again the spectacular fireworks display at the end of the day. It started punctually at 11 pm: the big fireworks display (Hanabi / 花火) lit up the sky over Düsseldorf as the highlight of Japan Day. Under the motto “Experience Japan - A night sky full of magic”, visitors were able to watch the spectacle for around 25 minutes. As always, fireworks master Hideki Kubota was responsible for the display. The challenge this year was to ensure that the installation did not get wet beforehand. Japan Tag 2025 was held on May 24th, 2025 along the scenic Rhine Embankment Promenade (Rheinuferpromenade) in Düsseldorf. Despite the rainy weather this year, the spirit of celebration remained strong as thousands of visitors gathered to experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of Japan. Due to the heavy rain throughout the day, attendance was noticeably lower (around 380.000 visitors) than in previous years, yet the event still drew a dedicated crowd eager to celebrate the enduring friendship between Japan and Germany. Even under gray skies, the fireworks brought magic and wonder to the evening. Renowned pyrotechnician Hideki Kubota once again crafted a breathtaking show that lit up the city skyline, blending delicate spark showers with powerful aerial bursts.
Japan Tag is an annual celebration that showcases Japan’s rich cultural heritage with traditional music and dance, cosplay and karaoke contests, manga and anime booths, origami and calligraphy workshops, and kimono fittings. Rain or shine, the event continues to offer an immersive cultural experience for all generations.
Filmed in stunning 4K HDR at 60fps. This Fireworks Display was recorded with high definition binaural audio. 🎧 For an even more immersive experience, be sure to put on your headphones.
