Watch Approximately 10,000 Fireworks Synchronized to Music from the Riverbed

About this spot

The Gero Hot Spring Fireworks Musical Summer Performance is a fireworks festival with the distinctive feature of being perfectly synchronized with music. Approximately 10,000 fireworks burst into the sky in time with the musical pieces one after another, transcending a mere fireworks display to become a "show" with fans throughout the nation. The large blooms of fireworks opening above the Hida River cast ribbons of light on the water's surface, with sound echoing off the surrounding mountains resonating through your entire body with impressive force. The mountain valley hot spring setting makes the colors and sounds of the fireworks stand out even more distinctly, creating an immersion different from fireworks displays in urban areas. Along with the memories of a day's journey, this becomes the climax of a summer night in Gero etched into your heart.

Tips

Confirm the event start time in advance through official event information (time is not yet determined). Also check the official announcement regarding whether the event will be held in case of bad weather. After the performance, the route back to Gero Station and parking areas becomes very crowded. Rather than leaving immediately after the fireworks end, it is recommended to linger at the riverbed to savor the afterglow before departing at a staggered time. Carry a small light as it becomes dark at ground level.

Best time to visit

Arrive and be seated at your viewing spot 20-30 minutes before the scheduled start time.
