Secure a viewing spot and have dinner from food stalls with houtou noodles
About this spot
The site of tonight's fireworks festival itself—the Usui River riverbed in front of Usui City Hall. As evening approaches, picnic sheets gradually appear for place-holding, food stall lights brighten, and the festival atmosphere builds. Enjoy local specialties like houtou noodles and summer festival street food while spending time leisurely until showtime. The open river-side scenery offers beautiful sunsets, and simply watching the sunset is mood-lifting. Checking restroom locations during this time ensures comfort later in the evening.
Fireworks details
Name: 石和温泉鵜飼花火
Date & time: 7/20 (Mon) 20:50–21:00 ※7/22 (Wed)も開催(7/21は休み)
Venue: 笛吹市・笛吹市役所前笛吹川河川敷
2026年7月20日(月)、笛吹市役所前の笛吹川河川敷から打ち上がる花火大会です。鵜飼の伝説が残るこの地ならではの夏の風物詩で、川面に映り込む花火の光と、両岸に連なる温泉街の明かりが重なり合う情緒あふれる眺めが魅力です。20時50分から21時までの10分間ですが、その分ぎゅっと凝縮された打ち上げが夜空を彩ります。温泉地の夏祭りらしい、しっとりと落ち着いた雰囲気の中で花火を見上げる時間は、旅の思い出としても格別です。7月22日(水)にも同じ場所で開催されるため(21日は休み)、天候や混雑状況に応じて日程を選べるのもこの大会の特徴です。
Tips
河川敷は当日大変混雑するため、場所取りは17時台からがおすすめです。荒天時は中止の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は笛吹市の公式発表で確認を。終了後は駅や駐車場までの道が混み合うため、少し余韻を楽しんでからの帰宅がおすすめです。
Tips
Within walking distance from Isawa Onsen town. Roads around the fireworks site get extremely congested from evening onward, so arrive early if driving. Buy food before stalls sell out.
Best time to visit
Approximately 3 hours. Watching the changing sky colors around sunset is recommended.
