2026 Oita "Yume" Fireworks 1-Day Full Experience Course
A complete 1-day course celebrating Oita's summer centered around the Oita "Yume" Fireworks (おおいた「夢」花火) held on August 29, 2026. In the afternoon, stroll through Oita Castle Ruins Park (大分城址公園) spreading across the city center, touching the historical atmosphere of the castle town. Next, enjoy shopping and light meals around the Amueplaza area in front of JR Oita Station, then move along the Oita River to cool off in the evening breeze while having dinner. As dusk falls, secure your spot on the riverbed upstream of Benten Bridge (弁天大橋), where you and your family can watch approximately 8,000 large fireworks blooming brilliantly across the night sky and river surface. With both banks of the river bathed in fireworks light, this definitive plan lets you fully savor Oita's iconic summer spectacle.
