2026年7月25日(土)開催、かつて鉱山町として栄えた美咲町柵原地区の夏を締めくくる花火大会です。20時30分から、柵原総合文化センター駐車場の夜空に約1,000発の花火が打ち上がります。周囲に高い建物が少ない里山の会場だからこそ、花火の光が大きく広がって見えるのも魅力です。鉱山の歴史や棚田の絶景を楽しんだ1日の締めくくりにふさわしいひとときです。
Tips
荒天時は中止・延期の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は事前に確認を。終了後は駐車場からの出庫が混み合うため、少し余韻を楽しんでから帰路につくのがおすすめです。
Tips
Accessible by car from the Ohagata Nishi Terraced Rice Fields. The riverbank has some unstable footing, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. The river's beauty stands out in the clear afternoon air.
