Located in the southeastern part of the city, Masuda Town sits at the confluence of the Naruse River and the Minase River. It has prospered as a commercial area since ancient times, with traditional merchant houses still remaining, showcasing a charming townscape. In September, Masuda Town hosts the \"Masuda Fireworks,\" the oldest fireworks festival in Akita Prefecture, which began during the Taisho era. The fireworks launched from Yagigahara on the Minase River feature a scale and beauty that live up to tradition, including the majestic 2-shaku balls, luxurious star mines, and rapid-fire regular-sized balls. The finale includes the \"Citizen Fireworks,\" with participation from the townspeople. Paid seating is recommended.
