Spread Out a Leisure Sheet at the Riverside Park and Wait for the Show While Enjoying the Mountain's Sunset

About this spot

A spacious park spreading along the shores of the Daiya River (Daiya-kawa), which is one of the main venues for the Nikko Fireworks Festival. Wide grassy areas are well-maintained and bustling with families spreading out leisure sheets to wait for fireworks. As evening falls, the sun sets on the mountainside and the surface of the Daiya River changes color from orange to indigo—a beauty unique to a mountain park. It's important to move to the venue early from Nikko's city center to secure a good spot. Food stalls and shops line the area, so you can replenish dinner supplies or obtain drinks at the venue.

Shells: approx. 5,000

2026年8月8日(土)19時開幕、日光だいや川公園・丸山公園を会場に約5,000発が打ち上がる日光花火大会です。山あいに位置する会場は音が四方の山に反響し、花火の炸裂音が体に響く独特の迫力があります。大谷川の川面に映る光の揺らぎも山間の花火大会ならではの見せ場で、広い公園の芝生から見上げる花火は視界いっぱいに広がる大迫力。夏の日光の夜空を彩るフィナーレの連発が終わったあとも、澄んだ山の空気の中でしばらく余韻を楽しんでください。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は日光市・大会主催者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が混雑するため、シャトルバスや帰りの電車の時刻を事前に確認しておきましょう。終了直後の混雑を避けるために、フィナーレ後は公園内で少し時間をおいてから移動するのがおすすめです。足元が暗くなるため、帰り道は小さなライトが役立ちます。

Tips

From Tobu Nikko Station or JR Nikko Station, approximately 15 to 20 minutes by bus or car. On the day of the fireworks, temporary shuttle buses may be operated, so check the latest transportation information on Nikko City's official guide. The earlier you arrive for spot selection, the better, and it's reassuring to locate the restrooms immediately after entering.
