Relax leisurely at the park at the bridge's base while listening to the babbling stream

About this spot

A park at the base of Saruhashi Bridge where you can feel the gorge's greenery and the flow of the Katsuragawa River up close, a place of respite. After viewing the bridge, relax on a bench and listen to the babbling stream—this time soothes summer's heat. From a viewing spot, you can also see Saruhashi Bridge from a slightly different angle, making it perfect for family commemorative photos. Take a breather here before your afternoon town walk.

Fireworks details

Name: かがり火市民祭り

Date & time: 8/1 (Sat) Time TBA

Venue: 大月市・まつり広場(大月東小学校校庭)

2026年8月1日(土)19時開催、大月市の夏を締めくくる花火大会です。山あいの町を見守るように、夜空へ花火が次々と打ち上がります。周囲を山に囲まれた立地のため、花火の音が山々に反響して重厚に響くのも魅力のひとつ。1日かけて橋の町・大月を巡った締めくくりにふさわしい、地域みんなで見上げる夏の夜のクライマックスです。

Tips

荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は大月市の公式発表で確認を。終了後は周辺道路や駅への道が混み合うため、フィナーレ後は少し余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめです。夜は山あいらしく涼しくなるので羽織ものを忘れずに。

Tips

Just a short walk from Saruhashi. Some areas along the gorge have uneven footing, so if traveling with small children, hold their hands. Restrooms are available, so it's reassuring to stop by.
