Fireworks Lighting Up the Night Sky by the River, Concluding the Historic Kumano Suigun Festival
About this spot
Fireworks held on July 26, 2026 (Sunday) in connection with the Koza Kawachi Festival with ties to the Kumano Pirates. The fireworks launched from the riverside of the pristine Koza River cast light on the river surface, creating the quiet yet powerful impression unique to Kushimoto, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The moment when you look up at the fireworks at the conclusion of this historic festival, standing together with local people, becomes a special time unique to this land.
