About this spot
Held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, this traditional Gion festival is centered around Kyoshin Bridge (協心橋), which spans the Kusu River. The spirited festival, in which floats and portable shrines parade through town, is a summer tradition long passed down in the region. The festival's excitement builds to a peak from evening into night, and once the sun sets, fireworks color the night sky along the Kusu River. You can spend a long, leisurely evening enjoying this unique Kusu summer night where a traditional festival and fireworks come together as one.
