About this spot
Held on Sunday, July 26, 2026, these fireworks accompany the Koza River Kawachi Festival, an event linked to the Kumano Suigun (Kumano naval forces). Launched along the banks of the clear Koza River, the fireworks reflect their light on the water's surface, creating a quiet yet powerful spectacle unique to Kushimoto, surrounded by mountains and river. As the finale of this historic festival, watching the fireworks together with local residents is a special moment found only in this place.
