View the fireworks dedicated to Taisha Shrine's Grand Festival along the Otowa River
About this spot
The Taisha Shrine Grand Festival Fireworks (Kofu Fireworks) is a traditional fireworks event dedicated to the Taisha Shrine Grand Festival in Toyokawa City and is affectionately known locally as "Kofu Fireworks." The fireworks launched from areas along the Otowa River brightly illuminate the summer night sky, enjoyed together with local residents gathered along the riverbank in this community-centered festival tradition. Unlike large-scale events in urban areas, its charm lies in the special atmosphere of fireworks intertwined with Shinto rituals. Slowly savor the scenery of light reflecting on the river's surface and the launching sounds resonating with the evening breeze with your entire being.
