About this spot

The spacious riverbed of the Kakogawa River is one of the most popular viewing areas among the city's dispersed fireworks launch sites. As evening approaches, families begin to gather, and leisure sheets spread out across the open riverbank. Lay out the dinner you picked up as takeout and wait for the show to begin while watching the autumn sky darken. Check the city's announcement for the specific launch locations on the day, and the key is to secure a good viewing spot early.

Tips

Since fireworks are launched from seven locations across the city, be sure to check the details in Kakogawa City's official announcement beforehand. Some parts of the riverbed have uneven footing, so wear comfortable walking shoes. October nights can be cold, so bring something to layer up.
