Fireworks details

Tips

The festival runs 5:30-9:30 p.m., with fireworks scheduled for 8:40-9:00 p.m. The fireworks are canceled in case of bad weather (with no rain date), so check Naruto City's or the organizer's official announcement on the day for whether they will proceed. Surrounding roads get crowded after it ends, so it's recommended to linger by the river a while to enjoy the afterglow before moving. Use your smartphone's light function on the way back, since it gets dark underfoot.

Best time to visit

Fireworks are scheduled for 8:40-9:00 p.m. After checking the official announcement on whether they'll proceed, secure your viewing spot 20-30 minutes before the start.
