Flow of the course

About this spot

Held on Monday, July 20, 2026, this is the fireworks display of the Gion Festival, held in Hirose, a castle town linked to the Amago clan (尼子氏). You can enjoy the double sparkle of fireworks launched from the right bank riverside of the Iinashi River (飯梨川) and their light reflected on the water's surface. Though it lasts only a short time, from 20:00 to 20:15, the fireworks you look up at amid the calm atmosphere typical of a castle town become even more memorable, overlapping with the memories of walking through Gassan Toda Castle and the Adachi Museum of Art (足立美術館) during the day. It's also cherished as part of the Gion Festival, which carries the meaning of an offering to the local guardian deity, making it a summer tradition of Hirose-cho, Yasugi City.

Tips

The riverside gets crowded on the day, so it's recommended to secure a spot from around 17:00. The event may be cancelled in case of severe weather, so check Yasugi City's official announcement for whether it will be held on the day. Roads to the bridge and parking lots get crowded after the event ends, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow for a bit before heading home.

Best time to visit

Time your visit to the event hours of 20:00-20:15. Open spots around the bridge offer a good view of the fireworks.
