Four Seasons Hotel Osaka Celebrates Naniwa Yodogawa Fireworks Festival with Skyline Views, Curated Dining, and Modern Ryokan Moments

As the Naniwa Yodogawa Fireworks Festival returns to the city on October 17, 2026, Four Seasons Hotel Osaka invites guests to celebrate with sweeping skyline vistas paired with a thoughtful curation of dining, champagne, and cocktails alongside wellness rituals and ryokan hospitality.

On this long-anticipated night, the Osaka sky comes alive with colour as fireworks bloom in rapid succession. Seen from above, the Yodo River becomes a mirror, reflecting every burst of light – waterfalls, peonies, willows. The shimmering panorama lasts nearly an hour, extending from the skies above to the waters below.

At Four Seasons Hotel Osaka, this spectacular display of pyrotechnics can be viewed from distinctive spaces, including GENSUI, the modern ryokan floor, set 28 storeys high; THE SPA on the 36th floor; and the restaurants and bar located on the hotel’s highest level.

A collection of refined experiences welcomes guests to enjoy this beloved autumn festival within the care and craftsmanship of Four Seasons.

Afternoon Tea and Extended Aperitif at SABO Lounge, GENSUI
Nestled within GENSUI, the modern ryokan floor, SABO Lounge offers an intimate social setting reserved for GENSUI guests. Sweeping cityscapes frame this space, where the evening begins long before the fireworks, starting with a Japanese afternoon tea inspired by seasonal ingredients and local traditions.

Aperitif hour extends longer than usual tonight, inviting diners to linger over the dazzling display. A pour of champagne or sparkling yuzu sets the scene for free-flow curated sakes, locally crafted spirits, and canapés.

After the fireworks, GENSUI guests retreat to the comfort of their room, where tatami floors, futon bedding, and Japanese crafts create a serene setting to unwind and savour the lingering atmosphere of the evening.

• Afternoon tea: 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm
• Evening aperitif: 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm
