Watch fireworks lighting up the night sky from the schoolyard surrounded by mountains
About this spot
The fireworks display held at 7 PM on August 1, 2026 (Saturday), concluding Otsuki's summer. Fireworks light up the night sky one after another, watching over the mountain-surrounded town. Thanks to its location surrounded by mountains, the fireworks' sound echoes off the mountains, creating a resonant quality—one of its charms. The fitting climax to ending your day exploring the bridge town of Otsuki, a summer night's pinnacle watched by the entire community.
