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.
