2026 Kuroki Cool Evening Fireworks Display: Full-Day Enjoyment Course

This is a full-day course centered on the Kuroki Cool Evening Fireworks Display (黒木納涼花火大会), held from 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, around Susanoo Shrine (素盞嗚神社) in Kuroki-machi, Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture. During the day, first visit the Great Wisteria of Kuroki (黒木の大藤), a giant tree designated a national natural monument, and take in its majestic presence. Next, stroll through the townscape of Honmachi Street (本町通り), where white-walled storehouses still remain, and feel the history of Kuroki as a prosperous post town. In the afternoon, visit Susanoo Shrine (素盞嗚神社), also the fireworks venue, and calm your mind in its quiet grounds. In the evening, return to the area around the shrine, enjoy the lively food stalls, have dinner, and secure your spot. At 8 p.m., about 990 fireworks are launched one after another into the mountain-ringed night sky, their sound echoing throughout the surrounding mountains. A traditional townscape, a shrine, and fireworks resounding through a mountain village — this plan lets you fully savor the charm of Yame and Kuroki in a single day.
