Watch approximately 5,000 fireworks resound through the Arakawa gorge at the Suiten Shrine Festival
About this spot
Held August 1, 2026 (Saturday), coordinated with Suiten Shrine Festival, Yoriimachi Town's fireworks festival unfolds on Tamazutsu River Bank, known for Arakawa gorge beauty. Approximately 5,000 fireworks burst successively into the night sky. Sound echoes off the cliff walls pressing in from both sides, creating the gorge's characteristic resounding impact. The sight of fireworks reflecting on the quiet river surface is also a highlight—Yoriimachi's signature summer tradition where grand-scale fireworks and gorge scenery become one.
