Sendai River Kyomachi Riverbed (Fireworks Viewing Venue) (川内川京町河川敷(花火観覧会場))

Flow of the course

About this spot

The climax of the Kyomachi Onsen Summer Festival: about 3,000 fireworks launch into the night sky over the Sendai River (川内川). Watching fireworks along a river tucked among the Kirishima mountains has real power, as the sound echoes off the surrounding peaks and resonates through your body. The fireworks' light reflected on the water's surface, combined with the gentle liveliness unique to a hot-spring town's summer festival, makes for an evening with a charm quite different from a big-city fireworks display. These community-rooted summer festival fireworks, which locals look forward to every year, make for a moment fit for a family's summer memories. Let the night breeze crossing the river accompany you as you close out the day with a sky full of fireworks.

Fireworks details

Tips

Please check the start time in advance through the festival's official information (time not yet finalized). Also check official announcements for whether the event will proceed in bad weather. Surrounding roads get congested afterward, so we recommend waiting a while after the fireworks end before heading back to your car. It gets dark underfoot, so don't forget a light, and be sure to pack up your picnic sheet and take all trash home with you.

Best time to visit

Time it with the start of the show; arrive at your viewing spot 20-30 minutes early and wait comfortably.
