A fireworks festival held on the banks of the Oigawa River about five minutes walk from JR Yagi Station, it used to be known as the "Yagi Fireworks Festival." It started in 1947, shortly after the end of the war, to commemorate those who died in the war, and this continues to this day with about 500 lanterns set afloat to create a magical atmosphere before the fireworks display. The festival mood is enhanced by an opening event, featuring song and dance, and a village of street stalls.

The thatched village or Kayabuki no Sato is the most visited attraction in Miyama. Almost the whole village is composed of old thatched houses and is carefully maintained as a cultural heritage site. You can walk around the village and enjoy the atmosphere and the breathtaking views of the thatched roofs with a mountain backdrop. To get the best sense of the area and avoid the crowds, we recommend getting here early in the morning or visiting later in the day. Staying in one of the accommodations within the village will give you the most authentic taste of village life. There are 2 cafes (Cafe Gallery Saika and Cafe Milan) and 2 B&B (Matabe thatched B&B and B&B Hisaya) in the village. Almost all houses in the village are private houses used as living place of villagers. If you'd like to see the inside of a thatched-roof house, visit Miyama Folklore Museum.
