Next stop: Fireworks concluding the Sumiyoshi Festival, one of Hiroshima's three major festivalsAbout this spot
Sumiyoshi Shrine, venue for the Sumiyoshi Festival (Sumiyoshi-san), one of Hiroshima's three major festivals, sits along the Honkawa River. As evening approaches on festival day, the surrounding area gradually becomes busier, and people enjoying the evening breeze line the riverside. Spread out your prepared light meal or dinner from nearby shops and relax in the river breeze. Eating and securing your viewing spot near the fireworks launch site allows you to wait for the show's start conveniently from your location.
Tips
About 15 minutes on foot from Honkawa Street shopping area. Roads and bridges around the shrine become very congested on fireworks day, so arriving early is recommended.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour 45 minutes. Act early, as crowds peak around dusk.
