Rest at a Quiet Temple Adjacent to Tonight's Fireworks Festival Venue

About this spot

A temple located just beside the "Kasuhuchi Jodo-ji Below Gonokawa Riverbank," which is also the name of tonight's fireworks festival venue, and has long been cherished by local people. The quiet temple grounds in the mountains are deeply forested and, even during hot summer afternoons, a cool breeze drifts through the air. Because the temple is adjacent to the fireworks festival venue, you can confirm tonight's launch site from up close within the temple grounds and surroundings. It is an ideal place to spend a quiet time before the evening festival in an unpretentious, non-touristy atmosphere.

Fireworks details

Name: 美郷町江の川花火大会

Date & time: 8/1 (Sat) 20:00–20:30

Venue: 美郷町・粕渕浄土寺下江の川河原

Shells: approx. 3,000

2026年8月1日(土)20時、粕渕の江の川河原から約3,000発の花火が打ち上がります。中国山地の山々に四方を囲まれた地形が音を反響させ、打ち上げのたびに体に響く迫力は山間の花火大会ならではのものです。川面に映る逆さ花火の美しさも見どころのひとつで、川幅の広い江の川がもうひとつのスクリーンになります。約30分のプログラムは凝縮感があり、次々と色とりどりの花火が夜空を染めていきます。静かな山あいの町に年に一度だけ咲く大輪の光を、家族みんなで河原から見上げましょう。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は美郷町の公式発表で当日確認してください。終了後は帰路の車が一斉に動き出して周辺道路が混み合うため、花火終了後はしばらく河原でゆっくりしてから移動するのがおすすめです。河原は暗いため、足元をライトで照らしながら安全に移動しましょう。

Tips

Since the temple is adjacent to the fireworks festival venue (Kasuhuchi Jodo-ji Below riverbank), please follow the temple's rules when entering the grounds. On the day of the fireworks festival, the surrounding area becomes crowded from evening onward, so it's reassuring to confirm the location of restrooms during this time. Please spend time quietly within the temple grounds.
