Take a rest at a park with a 6th-century large keyhole-shaped mound and lush greenery

About this spot

Imashiro Tumulus Park in Takatsuki City is a historical park developed around "Imashiro Tumulus," a large keyhole-shaped mound believed to have been constructed in the early 6th century. Some theories suggest it was the true mausoleum of Emperor Keitoku. The perimeter of the mound is maintained as a manicured lawn, and the "Haniwa Festival Plaza" displays reconstructed clay figurines and is very popular with children. The Imashiro Ancient History Museum on the grounds features easy-to-understand displays of excavated artifacts and information about how the mound was constructed, making it educational. The wide, green surroundings allow for leisurely walks and are a perfect spot to conserve energy before the evening fireworks.

Date & time: 9/20 (Sun) 19:10–20:00

Venue: 枚方市・高槻市・淀川河川公園（枚方会場・高槻会場）

Shells: 4,877

水都くらわんか花火大会は、枚方市・高槻市が共同で開催する淀川の花火大会です。「くらわんか」とは、江戸時代に淀川を行き交う旅人に「餅くらわんか(食べませんか)」と呼び売りした小舟に由来する言葉で、この地域の水上交通の歴史を今に伝えます。2026年9月20日(日)の19時10分から20時00分にかけて、4,877発の花火が淀川の夜空に打ち上がります。枚方会場・高槻会場の両岸からの打ち上げにより、広い川幅を活かした開放感ある観覧ができます。川面に映る逆さ花火と、秋の夜風の中で響く打ち上げ音が、1日のクライマックスを演出します。

Tips

開演の1時間前(18時ごろ)には観覧場所を確保しておくのが安心。河川敷は足元が暗くなるためライトを忘れずに。終了後は京阪枚方市駅・JR各駅とも混雑が予想されるため、フィナーレ後は少し河川敷で余韻を楽しんでから移動する時間差帰宅がおすすめ。荒天時の開催可否は大会公式の発表で確認してください。
