Approximately 20,000 fireworks bloom in the autumn night sky—Oyama's largest fireworks festival

About this spot

The Oyama Summer Festival (Oyama Fireworks) is one of the largest fireworks festivals in the Kanto region, held at the Omokawa riverside in Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, featuring approximately 20,000 fireworks. The fireworks launched from the wide riverbank have nothing obstructing them, and the spectacle of large blooms reaching high into the night sky is extraordinary. Viewing fireworks in the clear autumn air offers a dignified beauty distinct from summer festivals. The experience of watching from the riverside—with the band of light reflected in the river surface and the sound of fireworks resonating through your body—is a fitting climax to the day. The memory of sharing this moment with your family will surely remain in your hearts for a long time.

Tips

Check with the festival's official announcement or Oyama City information for weather-related cancellations. After the event ends, roads and parking lots around the venue will be very congested. Enjoying the afterglow at the riverside for a while before leaving and using staggered departure times is recommended. Before heading back to Oyama Station, confirm temporary bus routes and walking paths in advance. There are areas with poor lighting, so don't forget to bring a light.

Best time to visit

Coordinate with the event start time (please check official information as the time is not yet confirmed), and be in position at the viewing area 20-30 minutes before the start.
