Gotsu's Summer Festival Held on China's Largest River
About this spot
The Gono River Festival is held on the riverbanks of the Gono River, known as China's largest river, marking the end of Gotsu City's summer. Held on August 16, 2026, its greatest appeal is enjoying the festivities while feeling the river breeze. Many people gather on the spacious riverbanks before the river flows into the Sea of Japan, and this seasonal summer event offers a unique experience where you can feel how Gotsu's people have lived with the river.
