Large numbers of people come to Gifu to watch the fireworks, which are launched from the banks of the Nagara River with Mt. Kinka and Gifu Castle in the background. The river bank itself is the best seat in the house for watching the display, as it is bustling with people dressed in yukata. You can sit on tarps with friends and enjoy the view with drinks and festival food from the surrounding yatai (festival food stands). Wear your yukata and don't forget to bring a hand held fan - it will be hot! |
