About this spot

The Ibigawa riverbed upstream from Maejima Bridge is tonight's fireworks launch venue. Once you've secured your spot in the early evening, spread out your packed dinner or food from nearby food stalls and leisurely wait for the show to begin. As sunset light hits both banks of the river, the water's surface transforms to orange and purple—another highlight before the fireworks start. Moments spent shoulder-to-shoulder with neighbors and locals at the food stalls offer the warmth unique to community-oriented fireworks festivals. As the night deepens, the river breeze grows cooler, and you can fully immerse yourself in the pleasant sensations of a summer night while enjoying the countdown to showtime.

Tips

Congestion increases after dusk, so it's safest to secure your viewing spot by 6:00 PM at the latest. Nearby parking lots fill quickly, so check public transportation or temporary parking lot information in advance. Use the restroom early as facilities become crowded.
