About this spot

On July 4, 2026 (Saturday), from 8 p.m. to 8:45 p.m., approximately 1,200 fireworks will burst into the night sky above the Funami district in Nyuzen Town. This fireworks festival, held in conjunction with the Tanabata season, is a locally-flavored community summer celebration with an intimate atmosphere distinct from large-scale events. Viewed from a hilltop overlooking the rural Kurobe River alluvial fan, the fireworks display lacks obstructions and creates a striking visual effect against the night sky. The launching explosions echoing through the mountains and the spectacular interplay of light spreading across the summer night sky continue for 45 minutes. On this Tanabata evening, slowly savor the gentle and warm essence of this small district's fireworks festival beneath the starlit sky.

After the finale, leaving the parking lot may take time, so it's recommended to wait for things to settle before moving. Footing becomes dark, so having a smartphone light or small lantern is reassuring.
