Flow of the course

About this spot

The Ureshino Onsen Summer Festival Fireworks is an annual summer tradition in Ureshino City held every August 11. About 1,500 shells are launched from Miyuki Park (みゆき公園), coloring the night sky over the onsen town along the Ureshino River. The appeal of this compact venue is how close you can be to the fireworks, and the impact of the shells blooming right overhead is exceptional. The scene where the fireworks' light shimmers on the river's surface overlaps with the glow of the onsen inn lights has a charm unique to a hot-spring town. As the finale to a family day spent in Ureshino, savor the light and sound filling the summer night sky.

Tips

Check official announcements from Ureshino City or the festival organizers for whether the event will proceed in case of bad weather. Roads and parking around the venue get crowded after it ends. Rather than leaving right away, enjoying a little of the lingering atmosphere in the park before heading home helps ease the congestion of a staggered departure. Check the return transport times (bus or car) in advance. Since it gets dark underfoot, having your smartphone's flashlight function is reassuring.

Best time to visit
