Approximately 2,500 fireworks illuminate the summer night sky of the Asahi River - Ochiai's summer highlight
About this spot
Held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, from 7:40 PM to 9:00 PM, the Ochiai Summer Fireworks Festival is a major summer event with approximately 2,500 fireworks launched along the Asahi River riverbed in Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture. Fireworks bursting in the sky above the Asahi River, which flows through mountains, resonate off the surrounding peaks, creating increased impact, while bands of light reflected on the river's surface color the night water. The atmosphere of the cooling-off fireworks festival, long beloved by local residents, is warm, allowing families to leisurely enjoy a summer evening. The moment when the finale's rapid succession illuminates the entire river and mountains is the climax of your day.
