One person was killed on Sunday after at least two explosions rocked a park in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, north of Tokyo, local police announced.
Three other people were injured in the park, where a festival had been underway, authorities said.
Cars were found burning in a parking lot at around 11:30am (local time), according to police, but the cause of the blazes was not immediately known.
One of the explosions took place at Utsunomiyajoshi Park’s bicycle parking lot, where the body was found, Japan’s public TV station NHK reported police as saying.
The body had been badly damaged in the blast and ensuing fire, according to NHK.
The event, which taught traditional culture, was cancelled.
