2026 Naniwa Yodogawa Fireworks Festival: A Full-Day Course

This full-day course puts the Naniwa Yodogawa Fireworks Festival (なにわ淀川花火大会), held on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at its center, letting you enjoy the Osaka and Umeda (梅田) area from midday onward. In the afternoon, refresh yourself amid the vast greenery of Expo Commemoration Park (万博記念公園), tour Umeda's classic spots, and then head to the Yodo River riverbed (淀川河川敷) in the evening. Spread out your leisure sheet on the riverbed, where the autumn night breeze feels pleasant, and look up together as a family at the colorful fireworks launched into Osaka's night sky. This is the definitive plan for autumn in Osaka, packing in Osaka's culture and nature along with powerful fireworks. Cherished for many years as one of Osaka's leading fireworks festivals, the viewing area runs along the riverbed between the Shin-Midosuji Yodogawa Railway Bridge (新御堂筋淀川鉄橋) and National Route 2 (国道2号線). The colors of the sky over the Yodo River (淀川), changing moment by moment from dusk into night, are also part of this festival's unique charm.
