Enjoy an evening breeze by the harbor while grabbing a meal and securing your spot before the fireworks
About this spot
The area near Gotsu Port, close to the mouth of the Gonokawa River where the Gonokawa Festival fireworks will launch. As evening falls, food stalls line up and festival mood fills the air. Grab some takeout food or festival snacks to eat before the fireworks while securing a good viewing spot. As the sun lowers, watch the unique scenery where the great river and sea meet turn a deep shade of crimson—a sight worth seeing.

2026年8月16日(日)開催、中国地方最大級の大河・江の川の夏を締めくくる花火大会です。広い河口の上空に次々と打ち上がる花火は、大河ならではの開けた景色の中で存分に楽しめます。水面に映り込む光の帯も、この場所ならではの美しさです。海と川が出会う江津の夜を彩る花火を、家族でゆっくり見上げましょう。
