View fireworks blooming in the great sky above Tarasegawa River from the embankment

About this spot

The Furukawa Fireworks Festival is a summer tradition launched from the Tarasegawa River embankment and a major event that marks the end of Furukawa City's summer. Viewed from the vast river embankment, the fireworks display unobstructed, blooming full-size across the sky with exceptional openness. The viewing environment where fireworks' light sparkles on the water's surface combined with the gentle sound of water creates an ambiance unique to riverside fireworks festivals. For details on the scale of the display, please check the official festival announcements. Watching from your family's vantage point under the night breeze during the continuous bursts leading to the finale is a moment that will be deeply etched into your summer memories.

Tips

Please verify the start time and whether the event is being held by checking official festival information in advance. In case of severe weather, the event may be cancelled or postponed. After the show ends, the return route toward Furukawa Station becomes very congested, so rather than leaving immediately, staggering your departure by lingering a bit on the embankment to enjoy the finale's afterglow is recommended. Since the ground is dark, use lights to move safely.

Best time to visit

According to the event schedule. Arrive at your viewing location 20-30 minutes before the start and wait comfortably.
