View fireworks lighting up the night sky from the Yahagi River bank
About this spot
The "Nishio-Yonezu River Festival," a summer tradition held on the Yahagi River bank in Yonezu Town, Nishio City. Approximately 3,000 fireworks burst into the sky above the river, and taking advantage of the wide riverbed, you can enjoy the impact of large fireworks right before your eyes. A festival long cherished by the local community, the atmosphere gradually heightens as the sun sets amid the bustle of food stalls. Transitioning from a historic townscape walk to viewing fireworks above the river in the evening makes for a fitting conclusion to your day.
