Summary

A fireworks display held on the riverbed of the clear Midorikawa River in Kosa Town, Kamimashiki District, Kumamoto Prefecture. The event decorates the finale of the Ayu Festival and attracts many visitors. The 'Ayu Festival' has long been loved as a summer tradition, but in response to recent record-breaking extreme heat, it has been moved to October with visitor safety as the top priority. Various events such as children's 'ayu catching' and stage events offer enjoyment for both children and adults.
