2026 Kyushu Fireworks Festival: A Full-Day Course

This full-day course lets you enjoy Karatsu City in Saga Prefecture from midday, centered around the Kyushu Fireworks Festival (九州花火大会) held on Saturday, October 10, 2026. In the afternoon, take in a panoramic view of the Genkai Sea (玄界灘) and Niji-no-Matsubara (虹の松原) from the keep of Karatsu Castle (唐津城), and also stop by the historic Teramachi Street and Karatsu Shrine (唐津神社), known for the Karatsu Kunchi festival. In the evening, fill up on the famous Karatsu Burger and fresh seafood around Karatsu Station before heading to the viewing area along the Matsuura River (松浦川). Light reflecting on the water's surface and fireworks blooming in the night sky color an autumn night in Karatsu, in this special one-day plan for the Kyushu Fireworks Festival. Enjoy the changing scenery unique to Karatsu—the castle, the pine grove, and the river all in one—together with the fireworks launching into the autumn night sky as a family.
