About this spot

A roadside station located in Misumi, Hamada City, next to Masuda City, popular for its observation deck overlooking the Sea of Japan from a high elevation.

In addition to shops selling local agricultural products and famous Iwami specialties, there's a dining area serving snacks and menus using local ingredients, perfect for pre-fireworks meals. The facility also has a large parking area, making it convenient for breaks during drives. It's about 15-20 minutes by car from the center of Masuda City along National Route 9.

Fireworks details

Venue: 益田市・高津川河口河川敷

2026年8月22日(土)20時から40分間、益田市の高津川河口河川敷を会場に開催される花火大会です。全国屈指の清流として知られる高津川の河口上空に花火が打ち上がり、川面に映る光が揺れる光景は川辺ならではの美しさです。山陰の夜空に開く大輪の花火と川を渡る夜風、遠くに日本海を感じる益田らしいロケーションが、この花火大会の魅力です。フィナーレに向けて連続して打ち上がる花火が夜空を染める瞬間は、清流の町・益田の夏を締めくくるにふさわしいクライマックスです。地域に根ざした花火大会の温かな雰囲気も、家族連れには心に残る体験になります。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は益田市や大会主催者の公式発表で事前に確認してください。終了後は会場周辺の道路や駐車場が混雑します。フィナーレ後は河川敷でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから、時間差で移動するのがおすすめです。足元が暗い場所があるので、ライトやスマホのライト機能を活用して安全に帰りましょう。

Tips

About 15-20 minutes by car from the center of Masuda City. Plan your schedule to return to the center of Masuda City early in the evening on festival day. Using the facility's restroom beforehand ensures peace of mind while waiting at the riverbed. Considering post-fireworks congestion, aim to depart by 4 PM.
