Bingo Kokufu Festival Fireworks Display Viewing Venue (備後国府まつり花火大会 観覧会場)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The Bingo Kokufu Festival Fireworks Display (備後国府まつり花火大会) is a fireworks celebration that colors early summer in Fuchu City (府中市), a place with a history as the seat of the Bingo provincial capital. Centered around Fuchu City Fuchu Gakuen (府中市立府中学園), about 3,000 fireworks launch one after another into the night sky. Fireworks viewed from along the Ashida River (芦田川) create a fantastical scene together with the light reflected on the water's surface. Amid a varied lineup of displays including starmines and large shells, the sheer power of the launch sounds echoing through this mountain-ringed town is something special. Fireworks watched with family, wrapped in Bingo's early-summer night breeze, will surely become an unforgettable memory unique to this place. The moment the finale's rapid bursts paint the night sky is the climax of the day.
