Watch Approximately 1,000 Fireworks from the Kamo River Riverbank
About this spot
A summer festival fireworks display held on the Kamo River riverbank that flows through the center of Kamo City, known as the "Little Kyoto." It is a long-cherished event among local residents. Approximately 1,000 fireworks light up the night sky while reflecting in the river surface, offering an impressive finale despite its compact scale. A quiet and beautiful fireworks experience that fittingly concludes a day of enjoying historic town walks and interactions with squirrels.
