Flow of the course

About this spot

The Inagawa River Fireworks Festival (猪名川花火大会) is an autumn fireworks display held on the Inagawa riverbed in Ikeda City. Fireworks launched into the November night sky have a special charm you can enjoy in crisp, refined air quite different from a summer festival. The riverbed is wrapped in shimmering light reflected on the water's surface and launch booms that resound in the clear, cool autumn night air. Unlike in summer, the crowd tends to be more relaxed, which is another feature unique to an autumn fireworks festival. Enjoy the concentrated interplay of light and sound packed into a short launch window, while feeling the river breeze.

Tips

Whether the event goes ahead may change in case of severe weather, so be sure to check the organizer's official information on the day. After the show, the area gets crowded with people heading to the nearest Hankyu Ikeda Station (阪急池田駅), so it's a good idea to enjoy the afterglow on the riverbed for a while before heading out, staggering your departure. Some areas underfoot are dark, so use a small flashlight on your way back.

Best time to visit

Timed to the 18:00-18:30 show. Secure your viewing spot 15-20 minutes before it starts
