Watch fireworks lighting up the night sky from the banks of the Kamo River
About this spot
The Saijo Citizen Summer Fireworks Festival, held annually each summer on the banks of the Kamo River (加茂川) flowing from Ishizuchi Mountain. The middle levee area serves as the viewing zone, where you can enjoy the spectacular sight of fireworks reflecting on the river surface up close. While the number of fireworks is not publicly announced, the moment when fireworks light up the entire night sky combined with the murmur of the river is a distinctive summer tradition of Saijo, the town of pure water. It makes for a quiet and beautiful finale, befitting the culmination of a full day's experience.
