View Summer Fireworks Rising from the Takatsu River Mouth from the Riverbank

About this spot

A fireworks festival held on Saturday, August 22, 2026, starting at 8 PM for 40 minutes at the riverbed of the Takatsu River mouth in Masuda City. Fireworks light up the sky above the mouth of the Takatsu River, known as one of Japan's premier clear streams, and the light reflected on the river's surface sways in beauty unique to the riverbank. The magnificent fireworks opening against the San'in night sky, the night breeze crossing the river, and the distant feeling of the Sea of Japan create a Masuda-like setting that is the charm of this fireworks festival. Fireworks continuously rising toward the finale, coloring the night sky, is a fitting climax to summer in Masuda, the town of clear streams. The warm atmosphere of this community-rooted fireworks festival also becomes a memorable experience for families.
