Dinner and seating at the riverbed; wait for the show in the cool river breeze
About this spot
The riverbed of the Nagara River running through the center of Gujo Hachiman is tonight's fireworks viewing venue. As evening approaches, food stall lights come on, bustling with shops selling local gourmet food and fireworks merchandise. Once you've picked up takeout dinner, spread out your picnic mat to secure a spot, and wait for the show to begin while enjoying the cool river breeze blowing through the mountains. Watching the sky's color change as the sun sets is a pleasure unique to this time of day.
Fireworks details

Date & time: 8/14 (Fri) Time TBA
Venue: 郡上市八幡町 長良川河畔

2026年8月14日(金)開催、郡上八幡の夏を彩る花火大会です。長良川の川面を舞台に、約1,000発の花火が山あいの夜空を彩ります。周囲を山に囲まれた地形のため、打ち上げの音が反響して迫力ある響きになるのもこの大会ならではの魅力です。郡上おどりで知られる祭りの町らしく、地元の人々の熱気に包まれながら見上げる花火は格別の思い出になります。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は大会公式の発表で確認しましょう。終了後は駅や駐車場までの道が混み合うため、少し余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめです。足元が暗いのでスマホのライトなどを用意すると安心です。

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
It's about a 10-minute walk from the Gujo Hachiman Museum. On the fireworks festival day, both the riverbed and surrounding roads are very crowded, so securing a spot early is recommended. Restrooms will be busy, so use them in the early evening.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours required. The twilight colors reflected on the river surface are beautiful at this time.
