Stroll Along the Hidaka River Embankment and Confirm the Venue Atmosphere During the Day
About this spot
This course point takes you to walk along the Hidaka River riverbed in daylight, which will be the stage for tonight's fireworks festival. From atop the embankment, you can observe the Hidaka River's gentle flow and the mountain ranges beyond, helping you visualize the vast night sky where fireworks will bloom. The riverside continues with tree shade and grassy areas, and even on a hot summer afternoon, the river breeze feels refreshing. Checking potential viewing locations beforehand makes spot-securing smooth during the evening hours. On the fireworks day afternoon, crowds are still sparse, allowing for a leisurely walk.

2026年8月22日(土)20時から1時間、日高川河川敷から約3,000発が打ち上がる御坊市花火大会の観覧タイムです。川面に映る花火の光が水面を揺れながら広がる景色は、河川敷ならではの見どころです。山あいに響く打ち上げ音と川沿いの涼しい夜風の中で見上げる大輪の花火は、夏の和歌山の夜を鮮やかに彩ります。家族みんなで肩を並べてレジャーシートに座り、フィナーレの連発まで思いきり楽しみましょう。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は御坊市の公式発表で必ず確認してください。終了後は会場周辺と駐車場への道路が一斉に混雑します。フィナーレ後はしばらく河川敷で余韻を楽しんでから移動すると、帰りの混雑を和らげられます。足元が暗くなるため、小さなライトを用意しておくと安心です。

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
About 5 minutes by car from Dojo-ji Temple; within walking distance from Gojo city center. Parking lots become congested from early evening on the fireworks day, so a reconnaissance visit during mid-afternoon makes evening relocation easier. Some areas lack shade, so bringing an umbrella or hat is recommended.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour required. You can enjoy both the daytime scenery of the Hidaka River and imagine the nighttime fireworks venue atmosphere.
