Flow of the course

About this spot

Held along the riverbed of the Kamogawa River, which flows through the center of Kamo City, known as a Little Kyoto, this is a long-cherished local summer festival fireworks display. About 1,000 shells color the night sky while reflecting on the river's surface, offering a compact yet impressive finale. It's a quiet, beautiful fireworks display fitting for the close of a day spent enjoying the historic townscape and meeting the squirrels.
