Senda River

Flow of the course

About this spot

On the day of the Kannonji Zenigata Festival, food stalls and vendors line the banks of the Senda River, and the festival atmosphere reaches its peak from evening onward. Enjoy classic festival fare such as takoyaki, takoyaki, and shaved ice, and refuel before the fireworks here. The riverbanks and open areas are gradually filled with families reserving viewing spots, so it's wise to secure your viewing location early in the evening. The sunset sky reflected on the river and the glow of lanterns beginning to light up along the festival street is another spectacular sight of the day alongside the fireworks.

Tips

Approximately 10 minutes on foot from Kannonji and Jinkei-in. The food stalls develop longer lines as darkness falls, so it's recommended to finish eating while it's still light. If you procure beverages from a convenience store beforehand, you can avoid getting caught in the crowds at the stalls. Use the temporary restrooms around the venue and visit them early, before the fireworks begin.

Best time to visit

Approximately 3 hours. The river's sunset glow before and after dusk is beautiful, offering the most enjoyable time before the fireworks.
