About this spot

About 1,200 fireworks open one after another in the night sky over the Otaue Festival Village Community Plaza (御田祭の里ふれあい広場). The terrain unique to mountain-ringed Misato Town echoes the sound of the fireworks, giving a power that resonates to the core in a way quite different from a city fireworks display. The light of fireworks rising amid the stillness of the paddies and mountain village silhouettes the surrounding trees and mountain ridgeline, creating a beautiful scene. Spending an evening of this community festival, which carries on the tradition of the Otaue Matsuri, looking up at the night sky together as a family, is sure to become a treasured summer memory.

Tips

The start time has not been finalized, so please be sure to check in advance through the event's official announcements. Also refer to official information on whether the event will proceed in bad weather. Roads around the venue get congested afterward, so it's reassuring to enjoy the afterglow at the venue for a while before heading home. Some stretches on the way back are dark underfoot, so don't forget a flashlight.
