Feel the clear river flow and cool breeze
About this spot
The riverbank of the Kesengawa River flowing through Sumita Town. The clear flow surrounded by forests brings coolness, perfect for spending a summer afternoon. Since tonight's fireworks show is also held along the Kesengawa River, getting a feel for the river's atmosphere during the day will make evening spot selection easier. Spend time leisurely by the water while building anticipation for the night's fireworks.

2026年7月25日(土)開催、森林・林業の町として知られる住田町の夏祭りです。気仙川沿いから花火が打ち上がり、清らかな川面に光が映り込む美しい夜になります。打ち上げ数の公式発表はありませんが、地域に長く親しまれてきた夏祭りらしい、あたたかな雰囲気の中で楽しめる花火です。昼間に歩いた蔵の町並みや川辺の記憶と重なって、より印象深い夜になります。

About 1 hour 30 minutes. The time before late afternoon when the sun's intensity lessens is more comfortable.
