Spread leisure sheet on the river embankment to secure a spot, enjoy dinner and wait for the show
About this spot
The Tarasegawa River embankment, which serves as the venue for the Furukawa Fireworks Festival, offers a sense of openness with vast green embankments and expansive sky. Arriving in the evening, spreading out your leisure sheet, and sharing the dinner you procured with your family while waiting for the show to begin is the first half of the fireworks festival's enjoyment. As the sun descends, the river surface transforms from golden to indigo, and this twilight view offers a sense of scale rarely experienced at urban fireworks festivals. If food stall areas are set up, adding some light snacks is also a nice idea. Scout out restroom locations early.
Fireworks details
Name: 古河花火大会
Date & time: 8/1 (Sat) Time TBA
Venue: 古河市・渡良瀬川河川敷
古河花火大会は、渡良瀬川の河川敷から打ち上げられる夏の風物詩で、古河市の夏を締めくくる大きなイベントです。広大な河川敷から見上げる花火は遮るものがなく、空いっぱいに大輪が開く解放感が格別です。川面にきらめく花火の光と、穏やかな水音が重なる観覧環境は、川沿いの花火大会ならではの趣があります。打ち上げ規模の詳細は大会公式からの発表でご確認ください。フィナーレに向けて連発が続く中、夜風に吹かれながら家族で見上げるひとときは、夏の記憶に深く刻まれるはずです。
Tips
開催時間・開催可否は大会公式情報を必ず事前に確認してください。荒天の場合は中止または延期となる場合があります。終了後は古河駅方面への帰路が大変混雑するため、終了後すぐに移動せず、河川敷で少し余韻を楽しんでから動き出す時間差帰宅がおすすめです。足元が暗いのでライトを活用しながら安全に移動しましょう。
Tips
On fireworks day, good spots fill up quickly as crowds increase, so securing your location by 5 PM is reassuring. A large leisure sheet is more comfortable. The river embankment has limited lighting, so prepare a flashlight or use your smartphone's light for your return journey.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes required. Leisurely enjoy the time as the sky's color transitions from sunset to night.
