2026 Konosu Fireworks Festival: A Full-Day Course
Centered on the Konosu Fireworks Festival (こうのす花火大会), held on Saturday, October 10, 2026, this is a full day exploring Konosu City (鴻巣市), Saitama Prefecture, and its surroundings from midday onward. In the afternoon, visit some of Konosu's classic spots for a relaxed, autumn-in-Saitama kind of afternoon. In the evening, head to the Arakawa riverbank (荒川河川敷) to claim a spot and fill up on festival food from the stalls. Once night falls, enjoy around 20,000 spectacular fireworks launched from Nukata Athletic Field (糠田運動場) and the Arakawa riverbank up close. The great blossoms of fireworks blooming over the wide-open Arakawa riverbank are all the more powerful for the unobstructed view and the way the sound resonates through your body. With the beautiful contrast between the clear autumn night sky and the fireworks, this course lets the whole family fully enjoy an autumn night in Konosu, Saitama.
