2026 Iizuka Nōryō Fireworks Festival (飯塚納涼花火大会) Full-Day Course
This full-day course centers on the Iizuka Nōryō Fireworks Festival (飯塚納涼花火大会), held on Friday, September 25, 2026, and lets you enjoy Iizuka City, Fukuoka Prefecture (福岡県) and its surroundings from midday onward. In the afternoon, feel the coal-mining history and modern architecture preserved in central Iizuka by visiting the Former Itō Denemon Residence (旧伊藤伝右衛門邸), then head to Kasamatsu Park (笠松公園), surrounded by Chikuhō's nature. In the evening, grab dinner and stake out your spot near the venue along the Onga River (遠賀川), then at night enjoy about 7,000 large fireworks shells launched from Nakanoshima (中之島) along with the river breeze. This is the definitive autumn Iizuka day-trip plan, combining a historic Chikuhō stroll with fireworks over the Onga River.
