Summary
The Honjo River Festival fireworks on July 25 fill the sky over the Koyoshi River in Yurihonjo, Akita, with some 3,000 shells across 90 minutes from 19:30 - the city's signature summer event, drawing a reported 40,000 to 60,000 visitors.
Overview
The riverbank venue hosts paid reserved seats as well as open viewing space, and rows of food stalls feed the evening crowds. Trains run to Ugo-Honjo Station, a 30-minute walk from the site, while drivers take Route 107 from Honjo Interchange, about 20 minutes, and should expect congestion after the finale. Arrive an hour or more early to spread a sheet in a good spot, and keep a meeting point in mind if you are watching with children.
