Grab Dinner at the Station and Secure Your Viewing Spot While You Wait
About this spot
Around Gunka Station, where the Wakasa Railway and Inbi Line converge, shops and eateries rooted in the local community line the area. On the evening of the fireworks festival, early evening is the perfect time to grab takeout dinner. After shopping, move toward the venue, spread out your picnic blanket, and spend the pre-show time leisurely. The sunset in a mountain valley town has a uniquely relaxed pace different from the city.

2026年8月22日(土)開催、山あいの町・八頭町を彩る花火大会です。打ち上げ数の公式な発表はありませんが、周囲を山に囲まれた立地のため花火の音が反響し、都会の花火とは違う迫力を感じられます。清流のほとりで見上げる花火は、山の緑と夜空のコントラストが美しく、地元の人々に長く親しまれてきた夏の風物詩です。フィナーレの連発を見届けたら、家族で夏の思い出を胸に帰路につきましょう。
Tips
荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日は八頭町の公式発表を確認しましょう。終了後は駅周辺や道路が混み合うため、少し時間を置いてからの移動がおすすめです。山あいの夜は冷えるので羽織ものを忘れずに。
Tips
The station area gets crowded on the evening of the fireworks festival, so arrange meals early. Roads around the venue get congested at night, so walking or cycling is also recommended.
