View approximately 3,000 fireworks from the Yamakuni River riverbed
About this spot
The climax of the Tsurushi Hanagasa Hoko Festival Fireworks Grand Celebration held on Sunday, August 23, 2026, with the Yamakuni River riverbed at Mikukchi as the venue. Approximately 3,000 fireworks illuminate the night sky above the Yamakuni River, and due to the gorge's unique topography, the sound of the launches resonates with impressive intensity. Combined with the gorge beauty of the Blue Grotto and Rakan Temple visited during the day, this becomes a special evening to enjoy both the nature of Yabakei and the fireworks to your heart's content.
