Why You Should Visit

A historic fireworks festival—now in its 77th year—held on the Inagawa riverbed between Ikeda (Osaka) and Kawanishi (Hyogo). About 4,000 fireworks are packed into an intense 30-minute show you can watch up close from the riverbanks. Held in autumn, it's more comfortable than midsummer festivals, and the venue is an easy walk from Hankyu Ikeda Station.

Essentials

Paid invitation seats are also offered as a furusato-nozei (hometown tax donation) reward from the City of Ikeda, open until Sept 30 (for Japanese taxpayers).

REGISTRATION
Two ways to get a seat: paid seats for Ikeda residents (¥6,000, lottery via Ticket Pia from Sept 1, 2026), or an invitation seat offered as a furusato-nozei (hometown tax donation) reward from the City of Ikeda, open to donors anywhere in Japan until Sept 30. General viewing needs no registration.
