Near the Gohoden Reservoir along the Hotaka River (穂高川明科御宝田遊水池付近) (Azumino Fireworks venue)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Held on Friday, August 14, 2026, this fireworks display colors the Azumino summer. About 4,000 fireworks launch near the Gohoden Reservoir (御宝田遊水池) along the Hotaka River (穂高川), creating a majestic night sky show set against the ridgeline of the Northern Alps (北アルプス) you can admire during the day. Because the surroundings open onto farmland, the fireworks appear to spread across the entire sky, which is another appeal of this display. It's a fitting finale, surrounded by clear streams and mountains, to a day spent fully exploring Azumino.

Tips

The event may be canceled or postponed in case of severe weather, so check Azumino City's official announcement for whether it will proceed that day. The area around Akashina Station and the surrounding roads get crowded afterward, so it's a good idea to leave with a bit of a time gap. It can get chilly at night, so don't forget something to wear over your clothes.

Best time to visit

Timed to the event starting at 7:00 PM. Secure a viewing spot 30 minutes before the start
