About this spot

Held on Saturday, August 1, 2026, this is an Izumo summer festival staged downstream of Koshi Ohashi Bridge on the Kando River. Fireworks launch one after another into the night sky, and the way their light reflects on the calm river surface has a quiet beauty unique to a riverside setting. The official number of shells has not been confirmed, but this open venue lets you look up at the fireworks from anywhere along the embankment. As the close to a day spent enjoying the science museum and shopping, take your time to enjoy the fireworks together as a family.

Tips

The event may be canceled or postponed in case of severe weather, so check the organizer's announcement on the day to confirm whether it will go ahead. Surrounding roads get crowded afterward, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow for a bit before heading home.
