Secure your spot with a leisure sheet and enjoy food from stalls or your bento box
About this spot
The Yamakuni River riverbed at Mikukchi, which serves as the venue for the Tsurushi Hanagasa Hoko Festival Fireworks Grand Celebration, begins to bustle with local residents waiting for the launch as evening approaches. After spreading out your leisure sheet to secure a spot, finish your dinner with light food from stalls or a bento box you've brought. This is a time to feel the cool evening breeze crossing the river surface while slowly enjoying the gorge scenery as daylight fades. Still feeling the lingering impressions from the daytime gorge exploration, wait for the fireworks to begin.
