About this spot
At 8 PM on July 28, 2026 (Tuesday), the Asaka Summer Festival Fireworks Grand Tournament begins. Approximately 1,500 fireworks launched from the Asaka River (麻狭川) riverbank in Sanyo-Onoda City will successively illuminate the summer night sky while reflecting light on the water's surface. Watching fireworks by the waterside offers a unique sense of openness, and the sound resonates distinctly—the water sparkles with each burst. Within a compact timeframe of approximately 30 minutes, impressive fireworks are condensed, creating an experience enriched by the warm, bustling local summer festival atmosphere. The moment when the finale's rapid-fire sequence brightly illuminates the night sky is the climax of your day.
