Stroll through expansive woodland along the Usui River and confirm tonight's venue during the daytime
About this spot
A comprehensive park representing Yamanashi City, sprawling along the embankment of the Usui River. The expansive woodland provides cool shade even in the height of summer, with walking trails, grassy meadows, and play areas for children, creating an environment perfect for families to spend leisurely time. The gentle flow of the Usui River viewed from the riverside is peaceful, and an open landscape unfolds with the Southern Alps visible in the distance. Tonight's fireworks festival will be held at the Usui River embankment in front of Mankoku Park, so understanding the terrain and traffic flow during the daytime will help smooth your actions from evening onward. Take time to walk through the spacious park with children and fully enjoy the afternoon hours.

笛吹川県下納涼花火大会は、山梨市・笛吹川万力大橋下流の河畔から打ち上げられる、山梨を代表する夏の花火大会です。2026年7月25日(土)19時30分から20時50分まで、約5,000発が甲府盆地の夜空を次々と彩ります。川面に映る花火の光が揺れる「川上花火」ならではの幻想的な美しさと、南アルプスを背景にした大スターマインの迫力が見どころです。周囲を山々に囲まれた盆地の地形が音を反響させ、体に響く重低音が花火の迫力をいっそう高めます。フィナーレの連発が川と空を一体に染め上げる瞬間は、この1日のクライマックスです。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は山梨市の公式発表で事前に確認してください。終了後はJR山梨市駅方面への帰路が大変混み合います。花火終了後しばらく河畔で余韻を楽しんでから時間差で帰宅すると混雑を避けやすくなります。帰り道の河畔は照明が少ないため、小さなライトやスマートフォンのライトを活用して足元に注意してください。
Tips
About 15 minutes on foot from JR Yamanashi Station. Free admission. On the fireworks festival day, the riverside area becomes crowded from early evening, so it's reassuring to confirm the location of restrooms within the park and exits to the riverbank beforehand. Parking may be restricted on the day of the fireworks, so check the official announcement from Yamanashi City in advance.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours required. With abundant shade, the area remains pleasantly cool even during a summer afternoon.
