About this spot

Opened in 1995, the Toyota City Museum of Art is an impressive museum featuring refined architecture designed by Yoshio Taniguchi and gardens spreading across the hilltop. It boasts one of Japan's leading collections focusing on contemporary and modern art, with well-curated special exhibitions throughout the year. The interior features well-designed spaces utilizing natural light, creating a pleasant atmosphere where artworks and architecture blend harmoniously. From the gardens, you can overlook the cityscape of Toyota, making outdoor strolls equally enjoyable. By spending quiet time with art before the fireworks festival, the contrast with the evening festivities becomes more memorable. We also recommend peeking into the museum shop before entering.

Fireworks details

Name: 豊田おいでんまつり花火大会

Date & time: 7/26 (Sun) 19:00–20:40

Venue: 豊田市・矢作川河畔（白浜公園一帯）

豊田おいでんまつり花火大会は、豊田市最大の夏まつり「おいでんまつり」のフィナーレを飾る花火大会です。矢作川河畔の白浜公園一帯を会場に、夜空に大輪の花火が次々と開きます。川沿いという立地を活かした尺玉や連発、水面近くで開く花火など、川花火ならではの演出が楽しめます。豊田市民に長く愛されてきた夏の風物詩で、まつりの踊りや音楽で高まった熱気がそのまま花火観覧の興奮へとつながります。矢作川の川音と夏の夜風の中で聴く打ち上げ音は格別で、フィナーレの連発が夜空を埋め尽くす瞬間は1日の記憶に深く刻まれます。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は豊田市の公式発表で確認してください。終了後は会場周辺の道路と公共交通機関が大変混雑します。帰りは終了後すぐに動かず、河畔でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから混雑が落ち着いたころに移動するのがおすすめです。帰り道は足元が暗いため小さなライトがあると安心です。
