Secure Your Viewing Spot on the Riverbed, Await the Start Amid the River Breeze
About this spot
The riverbed around the Tedori River Simple Grounds, venue for the Hokukoku Grand Fireworks Kawakita Convention. The Tedori River, flowing through the Kaga Plain, is wide, and the riverbed offers a spacious scale. Securing a spot from evening and spreading out food stalls or your prepared dinner while waiting for the show to begin is a joy unique to summer fireworks festivals. The breeze flowing along the riverbank is refreshing, offering an openness unlike fireworks displays in downtown areas. As the sun descends, the sky's color transforms from orange to indigo, and the Tedori River's surface shifts in hue—this evening scenery is a sight to behold. Spend this pre-show time with your family at a leisurely pace.

Tips
荒天時の開催可否は北國新聞社や大会公式の発表を当日確認してください。終了後は周辺道路と駐車場の出入りが大変混雑します。帰りは花火終了後しばらく河川敷で余韻を楽しみ、混雑が落ち着いてから移動する時間差帰宅がおすすめです。足元が暗い河川敷では小さなライトが役立ちます。

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
Parking around the venue becomes congested early. If public transportation or temporary shuttle buses are available, actively use them. Identify restroom locations while still light. Bring a light layer as the river breeze can cool your body at night. Food stalls form lines before the show, so arrange dinner early.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes required. Enjoy the sky's transition from sunset to indigo color leisurely along the river.
