View Approximately 1,500 Fireworks Echoing Through the V-Shaped Gorge, Reflected in the River Surface

About this spot

The Shogawa Kankousai Shogawa Gorge Fireworks Festival held on June 6, 2026 (Saturday) takes place from Shogawa Aiaguchi Dam to the Funado Bridge area with approximately 1,500 fireworks launched. When fireworks bloom within the V-shaped gorge with mountains pressing in on both sides, sound echoes multiple times off the canyon slopes with a unique impact that resonates deeply. Fireworks spreading across the narrow gorge sky offer a completely different scale than fireworks on plains or seaside—the wavering light reflected on the river surface is another sight not to miss. These fireworks, enjoyed within the rich nature of Shogawa Gorge, have long been cherished as an early-summer symbol of Toyama. The climactic succession of rapid-fire bursts illuminates the gorge mountains with light, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Tips

Confirm the start time from the official announcement on the day (time to be determined). Also check official information for any weather-related cancellation status. After the show, surrounding roads and parking areas become heavily congested, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow a bit longer by the river before departing staggered from the crowd. Since it will be dark, prepare a smartphone light or small flashlight.

Best time to visit

Coordinate with the start time. Arrive and be seated 20–30 minutes before the start to savor the gorge's nighttime atmosphere.
