Secure Your Viewing Spot on the Riverbank - Early Dinner and Waiting for the Show While Enjoying the River Breeze
About this spot
The right bank of the Numata River below Hongo Bridge is tonight's main fireworks viewing area. From early evening, families begin gathering to reserve spots, and food stalls line up, creating the festive atmosphere of the summer festival. The pleasant river breeze and increasing coolness as the sun sets make the riverbank an ideal location for a summer evening outing. After spreading out your leisure sheet, enjoy an early dinner with food from the stalls or light snacks you've brought. As the water's surface turns indigo and lights begin to reflect on the opposite bank, the show is nearly time. Use the restroom before the display begins for peace of mind.

沼田本郷夏まつり花火大会は、三原市本郷町の本郷大橋下流沼田川右岸を会場に開催される夏の風物詩です。2026年は7月18日(土)20時15分から20時45分の30分間、2,026発の花火が夜空に打ち上がります。沼田川の川面に映る花火の光は、陸上の花火とは違う奥行きと美しさを生み出します。川沿いに広がる観覧エリアからは正面に花火を見上げることができ、川のせせらぎと夏の夜風が心地よいロケーションも魅力です。コンパクトにまとまった30分間に凝縮された光と音のプログラムは、地域の夏まつりならではの温かみと迫力を兼ね備えています。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は三原市または大会主催者の公式発表で当日必ず確認を。終了後は周辺道路と駐車場出口が混雑するため、車の方は花火終了後しばらく会場で余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめ。帰り道の河川敷は照明が少ないため、スマホのライトや小型ライトを使って足元に気をつけて。

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
The earlier you arrive, the better your viewing spot. The riverbank ground is grass and soil with unstable footing in places, so athletic shoes are recommended over sandals. Food stall congestion peaks about one hour before the show, so purchase food early to enjoy it at leisure.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes required. Enjoy the transition from sunset to indigo on the water's surface while waiting for the show to begin.
