About this spot

The fireworks show that caps off the Ogase Pond Summer Festival (おがせ池夏まつり) begins launching at 19:30 on Saturday, July 18, 2026. About 1,000-1,500 fireworks bloom one after another over the pond, painting the summer night sky while reflecting vivid colors on the water's surface. Unlike fireworks shows over a large lake or the sea, watching fireworks at this close, intimate distance unique to a small pond combines power with a sense of familiarity, enjoyed amid the warm atmosphere of local families gathering together. The 40 minutes in which the summer festival's lively energy overlaps with the rings of light spreading across the pond's surface with each launch make for a climax fitting to cap off the day.

Tips

Please check whether the event will proceed in case of bad weather via official announcements from Kakamigahara City or the event organizer. After it ends, roads around the venue get crowded. We recommend not rushing, savoring the afterglow, and moving on after a bit of time has passed. Since parts of the road home are dark underfoot, prepare a smartphone light or a small flashlight.
