Kakogawa Matsuri Fireworks Festival (加古川まつり花火大会)
A classic summer tradition for the Kakogawa River area, this festival is the largest in the Toban region. Initially called the Kawa Matsuri in 1953, it has been beloved over the years as an event that strengthens the bonds of the residence. The fireworks, bearing the prayers for peace, are launched from mid-river, the bedazzling the spectators from all 360 degree vantages. Confirming public access routes in advance is recommended, as there are no parking areas in the vicinity, and the venue is a residential area.

Hyogo Areas

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
