River Play and Nature Observation in a Clear Stream Flowing Through Subtropical Forest

About this spot

A waterfall in a clear stream flowing through Yanbaru forest, a naturally rich spot surrounded by crystal-clear water and subtropical greenery. The route that crosses the river to reach the waterfall pool feels like an adventure, making it popular with children. Even under the intense summer sun, the riverside surrounded by trees remains cool and comfortable. It's a wonderful opportunity for families to experience the abundant nature unique to Yanbaru firsthand.

2026年8月9日(日)開催、大宜味村夏まつりの締めくくりとなる花火大会です。塩屋漁港から打ち上がる約1,700発の花火は、リアス式の塩屋湾に囲まれた静かな水面に映り込みながら夜空を彩ります。長寿の里として知られる大宜味村の、地域の人々が集うアットホームなお祭りの中で見上げる花火は、素朴で温かい雰囲気に満ちています。やんばるの豊かな自然に包まれた特別な夜を、家族で楽しみましょう。

Tips

荒天時は中止や延期になる場合があるため、当日の開催可否は村の公式発表で確認を。終了後は集落周辺の道が混み合うため、フィナーレの余韻を楽しんでから時間差での移動がおすすめです。夜道は暗いので懐中電灯があると安心です。
