2026年8月16日(日)19時15分から開催される、通算64回を数える伝統ある祭りです。阿仁川の河川公園から花火が夜空に打ち上がるのと同時に、川面には灯籠が静かに流されていき、光と音が織りなす幻想的な光景が広がります。山あいの静かな環境だからこそ味わえる、花火と灯籠流しが同時に楽しめる特別な夜です。フィナーレの余韻とともに、川面に浮かぶ灯りをゆっくり見送りましょう。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は主催者の発表で確認しましょう。終了後は山間部の道路が混雑するため、少し余韻を楽しんでからの帰宅がおすすめです。足元が暗いので、スマホのライトや懐中電灯があると安心です。
Tips
Located along National Route 105, convenient for stopping by car. The product lineup at the shop changes by season, so check early on items of interest. It's about 10 minutes by car to the next Ani Densho-kan.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour required. Around lunch time it gets busy with local people, so shifting your timing slightly allows for a more relaxed experience.
