Shogawa Aiaguchi Dam (庄川合口ダム)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The riverbank from Shogawa Aiaguchi Dam to Funado Bridge serves as the viewing area for the Shogawa Gorge Fireworks Festival. The V-shaped gorge terrain with green mountains pressing in on both banks creates a distinctive atmosphere completely different from plain fireworks venues. At twilight, mountain ridgelines become silhouettes while the river surface reflects the changing sky colors. Secure your viewing spot during this time, spread out your leisure sheet, and finish dinner with food stalls or items you've brought. The cool breeze and water sounds from the riverside naturally heighten your anticipation for the evening's main event. In the June gorge, temperatures drop as darkness falls, so it's good timing to bring out a light jacket.

Tips

On the fireworks festival day, surrounding roads become congested, so public transportation or walking from designated parking areas is recommended. Always confirm the latest traffic and parking information from the official festival announcement. Food stall items sell out quickly, so it's wise to procure drinks and light snacks early from places like the roadside station. Some areas beside the river may be muddy, so wear comfortable walking shoes like sneakers.

Best time to visit

Approximately 2 hours required. Arriving 1–2 hours before the start is the standard for securing a viewing spot.
