About this spot

Hii River Riverbed Park, venue of the Kisuki Summer Festival Fireworks Grand Celebration, is a spacious and relaxing viewing spot with wide grassy areas. In the evening, festival food stalls line up offering summer festival favorites like okonomiyaki, fried chicken, and shaved ice. The mountains surrounding the venue bathe in the sunset glow, and the river surface transitions from orange to indigo—a special moment that gradually builds anticipation for the fireworks. After settling on your leisure sheet, browse the stalls and take your time enjoying dinner. Confirming the locations of restrooms and emergency exits during this bright time offers peace of mind.

Tips

Traffic restrictions and parking congestion begin around the venue from late afternoon. It's recommended to park early and walk to the venue. Food stall crowds peak right before the show starts, so it's smoother to purchase dinner in the early evening (around 6 PM). Roads around the venue will be congested after the fireworks end, so plan your return with extra time.
