2026 Ashiya Fireworks Festival: A Full One-Day Course

Centered on the Ashiya Fireworks Festival held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, this is a full-day course enjoying the mouth of the Onga River and the area around Ashiya Town from daytime onward. In the afternoon, stroll through Ashiya Town's nature-rich coastal park and the green space along the Onga River while feeling the summer breeze, and discover local produce from around Kitakyushu at roadside stations and farm stands. In the evening, move to the viewing area near the river mouth to secure a spot and fill up on food-stall favorites. Once the sun sets, enjoy about 5,000 fireworks bursting into the night sky, reflected on the river's surface, from the riverbank upstream of Ashiya Bridge (芦屋橋). This one-day course, unique to northern Fukuoka Prefecture, lets you savor the Onga River's summer evening scenery and powerful fireworks all in one go.
