Fireworks painting the night sky along the Izai River

About this spot

The summer festival of Ichinoseki City held on Friday, July 24, 2026, created by local groups working together. Fireworks are launched from along the Izai River, their light reflecting on the water's surface creating a beautiful night. While there is no official announcement of the number of fireworks, they can be enjoyed in a warm, community-rooted summer festival atmosphere. Overlapping with memories of the shopping street and park you walked during the day, the evening becomes more memorable.
