Yesterday night was the Nozawa Onsen fire festival. Nozawa Onsen is about a 1 hour drive from Yuzawa and is a small Onsen town located in the mountains. The fire festival involved people trying to light a structure with flaming torches while other people tried to put the flames out so the structure would not alight, eventually it was set alight and a spectacular display was put on. All in all it was great night.
