Fireworks lighting the mountain valley night sky, Kumano Kodo summer festival
About this spot
Fireworks at the Kiyohime Festival held on July 25, 2026 (Saturday) in Kurisugawa, Nakahechi Town, where the World Heritage Kumano Kodo passes through. Fireworks light up the quiet mountain valley night sky unique to this region. Due to the location surrounded by mountains, visitors can experience the power and echo of fireworks quite differently from city fireworks displays. The fireworks viewed after a full day of walking the historic trail are a fitting finale to the journey.
