Secure a Viewing Spot on the Riverbank and Wait for the Performance While Enjoying Festival Food

About this spot

The Gonokawa riverbank in Kasuhuchi, which serves as the fireworks festival venue, is a pleasant location with a wide open view of the river. From evening onward, food stalls line up and the festival atmosphere builds. To secure a good viewing spot, lay out your leisure sheet on the riverbank when the sun begins to sink. The sight of the sky changing from orange to deep indigo as the sun sets over the mountain ridges is already beautiful even before the fireworks begin. Finishing dinner at the festival food stalls while waiting for the performance with your whole family becomes one of the precious memories of this day.

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

On the day of the fireworks festival, parking areas near the venue fill up from early in the day. Check the official parking information in advance and arrive as early as possible to secure a spot. The riverbank has uneven ground with gravel and stones in places, so visit wearing comfortable sandals or shoes. It's recommended to apply insect repellent before evening arrives.
