Secure Your Spot on the Riverbed, Satisfy Your Appetite with Food Stall Cuisine, and Await the Show

About this spot

The Hidaka River riverbed at dusk is a special time when energy gradually builds toward the fireworks festival. At the venue where food stalls cluster, finish your dinner while enjoying the changing colors of the river surface and sky as the sun sets. Once you've spread your leisure sheet and secured your viewing spot, the very act of waiting for the show to begin with family is one of the highlights of the fireworks experience. Along the river, the evening breeze becomes cooler, and the comfort of a summer night intensifies. Confirming the location of restrooms while there's still daylight brings peace of mind.

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。

Tips

On fireworks day evening, parking lots and surrounding roads become congested. Using public transportation or securing parking early is advisable. Popular food stall menus sell out early, so purchasing between 5:00-6:00 PM is recommended. Please take your trash with you.
