About this spot

A community-rooted summer festival fireworks held at the riverbank of the Oda River in Oda, Yakage town. From 8 PM for 20 minutes, about 450 fireworks burst into the night sky over the riverbank. The intimate atmosphere where locals enjoy at their own pace is charming, and the reflection of fireworks on the river surface is also a highlight. As the finale of a day starting with historic post town exploration, enjoy watching the night sky with your family.

The event may be cancelled due to bad weather, so check the organizer's announcement on the day. After the show, nearby roads will be crowded, so leaving after enjoying the afterglow is recommended. Bring a phone light as it gets dark, for safety.
