About this spot

The grand finale event of the Aichi River Gion Natsuzuki Festival. Fireworks launched from the Aichi River riverbed bloom magnificently across the summer night sky while casting their light upon the water's surface. Long cherished as a summer festival by local residents, this event combines the bustle of food stalls and the sounds of festival music to create a beloved summer tradition of the Ōmi region. The spacious riverbed allows you to spread a leisure sheet and enjoy the display leisurely with your entire family. The moment when the finale fireworks are reflected on the water becomes an unforgettable climax to your perfect day.

Tips

Confirm the start time in advance through official Aizushi Town information (detailed schedules may change on the day). Also check official announcements regarding whether the event will proceed in case of inclement weather. After the finale, wait a while before leaving as crowds converge. The ground becomes dark, so bringing a small light is recommended.
