Rest Before Evening in a Park Overlooking the Ibigawa, Enjoying the Cool River Breeze

About this spot

A lush park in the center of Ibigawa Town offering views of the Ibigawa River's flow and surrounding mountains. Located near the fireworks venue on the Ibigawa riverbed, it's an ideal place to rest before moving to the viewing area in the evening. A brief rest on a shaded bench while feeling the river breeze naturally loosens the tired legs from your afternoon sightseeing. The Ibigawa flowing through the park is the very stage for tonight's fireworks. Checking the water's appearance while it's still light gives you a better sense of your viewing location for the night. Time spent leisurely in the soft light of early evening becomes a pleasant pause before the fireworks begin.

Fireworks details

Date & time: 8/1 (Sat) 19:45–20:30

Venue: 揖斐郡揖斐川町・揖斐川河川敷（前島橋上流）

2026年8月1日(土)19時45分から20時30分まで、揖斐川河川敷(前島橋上流)を会場に開催される「いびがわの祭りありがとう花火」です。地域への感謝を込めて名付けられた大会で、約2,500発の花火が揖斐川の夜空を彩ります。川沿いの会場では打ち上げ場所が近く、頭上いっぱいに広がる花火の迫力と音の響きは格別。静かな川面に映り込む光のゆらめきが、打ち上げ花火と呼応して河川敷ならではの立体的な美しさを生み出します。西美濃の山々に囲まれた揖斐川の夜空に次々と開く大輪は、昼間に歩いた谷汲山や揖斐川の自然と重なり合い、1日の旅の記憶をひとつに結びつけるクライマックスです。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は大会公式の発表や揖斐川町の案内で確認してください。終了後は会場周辺の道路が混雑するため、フィナーレ後は河川敷でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめです。帰路の足元は暗いため小さなライトがあると安全です。

Tips

Easily accessible from the center of Ibigawa Town. Checking the public restroom locations beforehand helps you avoid panic during the evening crowds. As sunset approaches, more people move from the park to the riverbed, so early arrival for spot selection is recommended.
