2026 Aira City Fireworks Festival Full Day Experience Course
A full-day course to thoroughly enjoy Aira City (姶良市), Kagoshima Prefecture, centered around the Aira City Fireworks Festival held on Sunday, October 11, 2026. In the afternoon, stroll through the historic townscape of Kajiki and the stone-paved Ryumonshi Slope, enjoying time to experience Aira City's natural beauty and history. In the evening, have dinner near Kajiki Port and secure your viewing spot, then look up at approximately 10,000 magnificent blooms in the night sky above Kinko Bay. On an autumn evening, the sound of waves and the roar of fireworks merge together, creating an impressive viewing experience unique to a harbor setting. The fireworks launched against the backdrop of Kinko Bay create a spectacular scene distinctly characteristic of Kagoshima, with the silhouette of Sakurajima. From daytime historical walks to nighttime fireworks, this is the ultimate autumn plan packed with the charm of Aira City.
