Flow of the course

About this spot

Enjoy the Konosu Fireworks Festival (こうのす花火大会), held from 5:30pm to 8pm on Saturday, October 10, 2026. Staged at Nukata Athletic Field (糠田運動場) and the Arakawa riverbank in Konosu City, this large-scale festival launches around 20,000 fireworks, ranking among the biggest in Saitama Prefecture. The vast open riverbank has nothing blocking the view, giving an exceptional sense of openness as you watch the fireworks rise directly overhead. Being held in clear-skied October also gives the fireworks a vividness against the autumn night that's a different kind of beauty from summer festivals. The finale, featuring a varied 2.5-hour program including starmine and large shells, is a breathtaking display of continuous bursts filling the sky. Combined with the powerful sound resonating across the riverbank, it's sure to be an autumn night the whole family remembers.

Tips

Always check the festival's official announcements for whether it will proceed in bad weather. The venue area and nearest station get very crowded after it ends. To avoid the crowds, either wait a while after the finale before moving, or follow the festival's official transportation and return-home guidance to spread out your departure. Nighttime temperatures on the riverbank drop significantly in October, so don't forget warm clothing. It gets dark underfoot, so a small flashlight is reassuring to have.

Best time to visit

Timed to the 5:30pm–8pm event hours. Securing your viewing spot 30 minutes before the start is reassuring.
