View fireworks from the banks of the clear Takatsu River
About this spot
The "Nichihara Ayu Festival Fireworks Grand Finale" held on August 15, 2026 (Saturday), on the banks of the clear Takatsu River. Fireworks launched over Nichihara District, surrounded by mountains, produce particularly resonant sound as it echoes through the mountain valleys. The light of the fireworks reflecting off the pristine river surface is a beautiful sight unique to a clear stream town. An ideal summer evening—enjoy the blessings of mountains and rivers that surround this region, befitting the Ayu Festival name, with your family in a relaxed atmosphere.
