Best Viewing Spots

Because the launch site and viewing area are very close together, the entire Ikazaki Fireworks Festival venue can be considered an excellent viewing spot.

1. Toyoaki Kawara (main venue): Toyoaki Kawara, located close to Toyoaki Bridge, where the fireworks are launched, is truly a premium viewing area. The large fireworks filling your entire field of vision are incredibly powerful, creating an immersive experience in which the sound and light seem to resonate through your entire body. The fireworks reflected on the clear waters of the Oda River are also magical, creating a highly photogenic scene.

2. Around Toyoaki Bridge: The area around Toyoaki Bridge, where the fireworks are launched, is another spot for enjoying dynamic fireworks up close. Photographing the bridge structure together with the fireworks can produce particularly striking images.

3. The spacious area along the Oda River: The Toyoaki Kawara area offers plenty of open space, with many places where you can watch the fireworks in relative comfort. Even from a little farther away from the main crowds, you can enjoy the collaboration between Uchiko Town’s atmospheric streetscape and the fireworks. It is an ideal place to savor the summer night while taking in the lively atmosphere of the food stalls.
