Tokushima – August 6 Kamojima Summer Festival Fireworks Display

Access

Crowding is expected around the venue on the day of the fireworks display, so public transportation is recommended.

• By train The nearest station is Kamojima Station on the JR Tokushima Line. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes on foot from Kamojima Station to the venue, Yoshinogawa City Kamojima Sports Ground. The station is expected to be extremely crowded after the fireworks end, so buying your ticket in advance or topping up your IC transportation card beforehand will make your journey smoother.

• By car The venue is approximately 10 minutes from the Donari IC on the Tokushima Expressway via National Route 318. A temporary parking area is available at Yoshinogawa City Kamojima Sports Ground, with space for approximately 200–300 vehicles. However, parking is limited, so visitors are encouraged to carpool as much as possible or consider using public transportation. Traffic restrictions will be in place from around 18:00 to 22:00 on the day of the event around Awa Chuo Bridge and the levees along the north and south banks. Please plan accordingly.

Paid Seating and Tickets

No paid viewing areas have been confirmed for the Yoshinogawa City Summer Fireworks Display. Since the fireworks can be viewed free of charge, bring a leisure sheet or similar item and enjoy the display from your preferred location.

Less-Crowded Viewing Spots

Yoshinogawa City Kamojima Sports Ground is directly in front of the launch site, making the venue itself the best spot for enjoying the fireworks up close. Although there are not many locations widely known as specific “hidden spots,” the following places may offer a relatively relaxed viewing experience.

1. Yoshino River riverbank (a little away from the venue) Moving a short distance upstream or downstream along the Yoshino River from the main venue at Yoshinogawa City Kamojima Sports Ground may allow you to watch the fireworks while avoiding the crowds. However, because you will be farther from the launch site, the display may not feel as powerful as it does at the main venue. It is recommended that you secure a spot early and bring a leisure sheet or similar item so you can relax and enjoy the evening.

2. Around Awa Chuo Bridge The area around Awa Chuo Bridge, located near the venue, is another possible viewing point. However, traffic restrictions apply during certain hours, so check the latest traffic information in advance and take care to watch from a safe location. On the bridge, be careful not to obstruct pedestrians or other traffic.

3. Slightly elevated locations nearby If there are any slightly elevated areas around Yoshinogawa City Kamojima Sports Ground offering a broad view, you may be able to enjoy the fireworks in their entirety. However, avoid entering private property or watching from locations where your safety cannot be assured.
