O-kawa Bridge (大川橋)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The riverbank of the Yoshino River upstream of O-kawa Bridge is tonight's fireworks display venue. At dusk, mountains line the western horizon while the sky transitions from orange to indigo—a view reflected in the river surface that's already picturesque before the show begins. Spread out your leisure sheet early to secure your spot, then relax with your provisions while waiting. Food stalls are set up nearby if you prefer additional snacks. The pleasant river breeze on a summer evening is the perfect setting for the whole family to unwind and enjoy the moment.

Tips

For those driving, check temporary parking arrangements in advance. Traffic restrictions may be in effect on event day, so early arrival is advisable. Insects increase along the riverside after sunset, so bring insect repellent. Locate restrooms early after securing your spot.

Best time to visit

About 1.25 hours required. The beautiful sunset glow on the river is another highlight before the fireworks begin
