About this spot

Held on Saturday, August 15, 2026, this is the Nichihara Ayu Festival Fireworks Festival, held on the banks of the clear Takatsu River. Fireworks launched over the Nichihara district, surrounded by mountains, echo especially loudly as the sound reverberates through the mountain valley. The light of the fireworks reflected on the clear river surface is also a beautiful sight unique to this town of clear streams. Enjoy a summer night wrapped in the bounty of mountain and river, fitting for a festival named after ayu, at a leisurely pace with your family.

Tips

Check official announcements from Tsuwano Town or the organizer for whether the event will go ahead in case of bad weather. Roads in the area get congested after the event ends, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow for a while before moving. The riverside is dark underfoot, so having a smartphone light or similar ready is reassuring.
