View Approximately 10,000 Fireworks from the Riverside - Mount Iwaki's Silhouette and Fireworks in Concert

About this spot

The Koto Hirosaki Fireworks Gathering is a fireworks festival held at Iwaki River Riverbed Athletic Park (Akuto District) (岩木川河川敷運動公園・悪戸地区) in Hirosaki City, featuring approximately 10,000 fireworks from 7:45 PM to 9:00 PM on June 20, 2026 (Saturday). From the spacious riverbed, you can enjoy large fireworks without obstruction. On clear nights, you can see a landscape characteristic of Tsugaru, with fireworks blooming against Mount Iwaki's silhouette in the distance. In late June, the night in this northern region is relatively cool, allowing you to enjoy the fireworks in a calm atmosphere unlike the bustle of summer. Savor fully the approximately 10,000-burst finale of Tsugaru's early summer night, alongside the flickering light reflected on the river surface.

Tips

Parking lots around the venue fill up early, so check public transportation and temporary shuttle bus information in advance via Hirosaki City's official announcements. Verify information about event cancellation due to severe weather the same way. After the finale, expect congestion, so it's easier to linger in the riverbed for a while to savor the atmosphere before moving on. The path back is dark, so bring a light.

Best time to visit

Align with the 7:45 PM - 9:00 PM event times. Secure your viewing spot 30 minutes before the start.
