About this spot

On the night of the Grand Festival, night stalls line the banks of the Kiso River, and the whole town is wrapped in festival excitement. You can spend a relaxed stretch of time enjoying local food and stall favorites while waiting for the fireworks to begin. Kiso-Fukushima, nestled in the mountains, cools down after sunset, making this a pleasant time for a stroll while enjoying the evening cool. From the riverside path, you can also get an early look at the riverbed where the fireworks will launch. Enjoy the festival's lively atmosphere as you prepare for the main event of the night.

Tips

Night stalls are often cash-only, so it's reassuring to have small change and small bills ready. Crowds increase, so hold your children's hands so you don't get separated. If you want to secure a viewing spot, it's recommended to head there around an hour before the fireworks start.

Best time to visit

About 2 hours 30 minutes. After sunset, when the lanterns light up, is the liveliest time
