Enjoy approximately 3,000 fireworks from the Hirakawa riverbank, a summer night with beautiful light reflected on the water

About this spot

On August 20, 2026 (Thursday) from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM, approximately 3,000 fireworks light up the sky above the Hirakawa riverbed at Shiratori Fureai Hiroba. Large chrysanthemum fireworks blooming in the sky above the Hirakawa's gentle flow also reflect their light on the water, creating a beautiful scene woven by water and light. The sound resonates along the river, and the powerful impact of the launching noise is another highlight. Fireworks viewed from the nature-rich Hirakawa riverbank, known as a white bird migration site, have the emotion befitting an Aomori summer tradition. The hour with successive launches toward the finale will become a summer memory etched in the hearts of the whole family.

Tips

Confirm in advance through Fujisaki town's official announcement whether the festival will proceed in case of severe weather. After the finale, return traffic and transportation become congested, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow a bit before leaving. Since it becomes dark underfoot, prepare a small light and move safely on your return route. Since the next day is a weekday, plan your return time in advance considering the children's bedtime for peace of mind.

Best time to visit

7:30 PM to 8:30 PM during the event hours. Secure your spot with a sheet 20-30 minutes before the start and choose a position where you can see the river to also enjoy the fireworks reflections.
