Experience Summer's Nature Up Close with the Clear Stream of "Niyodo Blue" Through Riverside Walks
About this spot
The Niyodo River is known for its distinctive emerald green glow called "Niyodo Blue" (仁淀ブルー), attributed to its high transparency, and is cherished by many as one of Japan's foremost clear streams. The riverbed of the Niyodo River flowing through Ino Town is an open space where you can feel the river's flow up close while taking a walk. Simply sitting on the white gravel riverbank and gazing at the water brings a coolness that makes you forget the summer heat. Since tonight's fireworks will be launched from this location, understanding the atmosphere and topography of the riverbed during the day will also help with securing a good spot at night. The landscape created by the mountain ranges and clear stream is a spectacular view worth capturing in photographs.

いの町民祭仁淀川まつり納涼花火大会は、高知県いの町の夏を代表するお祭りの一環として開催される花火大会です。羽根公園・仁淀川河原を会場に、約1,200発の花火が夜空を彩ります。「仁淀ブルー」と称される清流・仁淀川の水面に映り込む花火の光は、川辺ならではの幻想的な美しさです。山間の谷に響く打ち上げ音と、川風に包まれながら見上げる花火は、都市部の大会とはひと味違う自然の中の花火体験です。地域の夏まつりとしての温かいにぎわいの中で、家族の夏の思い出を作ることができます。フィナーレの連発が川面と夜空を一斉に照らす瞬間は、この1日のクライマックスです。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は主催者の公式発表で確認してください。終了後は会場周辺の道路が混雑するため、花火の余韻を楽しみながら人混みが落ち着くのを待つのがおすすめです。JR伊野駅方面への帰り道は足元が暗い箇所もあるため、小さなライトがあると安心です。
Tips
Accessible on foot from Ino Town Paper Museum. Pay attention to footing when approaching the river, and do not descend into the riverbed during times of high water. Summer has strong sunlight, so don't forget a hat and sunscreen. Mosquitoes tend to come out near water, so insect repellent spray is helpful.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes required. The afternoon sunlight reflects off the water surface, and this is the time when Niyodo Blue appears most beautifully.
