Watch about 1,000 fireworks painting the mountain valley night sky

About this spot

On July 22, 2026 (Wednesday), a fireworks festival concluding the Mizunashi Shrine annual festival takes place on the Kiso River's riverbed. About 1,000 fireworks launch from 7:50 PM to 9 PM, with sound echoing off the surrounding mountains creating a powerful impact you can feel in your body. The sight of large fireworks blooming across the clear mountain night sky has a different scale than city fireworks festivals. The moment fireworks reflect off the Kiso River surface is a uniquely beautiful sight of this location. This fireworks festival, continuing through the annual festival, brings Kisofukushima's summer to a close.
