2026 Furusato Osumi Festival Fireworks Display: A Full-Day Course

This course, centered on the Furusato Osumi Festival Fireworks Display held on Saturday, July 25, 2026 (postponed to Sunday, July 26 in case of bad weather) at Yagoro Densetsu no Sato Plaza (弥五郎伝説の里広場) in Osumi Town, Soo City, Kagoshima Prefecture, lets you enjoy the region's history and festival for a full day. At noon, visit Iwakawa Hachiman Shrine (岩川八幡神社), known for the Yagoro-don Festival, and explore the cool limestone Mizonokuchi Cave (溝ノ口洞穴), a National Natural Monument. In the afternoon, stop by the roadside station Michi-no-Eki Osumi Yagoro Densetsu no Sato (道の駅おおすみ弥五郎伝説の里) and enjoy local food along with a monument dedicated to Yagoro-don. In the evening, head to the plaza that serves as the fireworks venue, and wait for the show to begin while enjoying the lively summer festival food stalls. From 9:00 PM, the fireworks are compressed into just 10 minutes. This dense finale, with fireworks following one after another in a short span, has an impact you won't find anywhere else. This is a quintessential summer Osumi plan that lets you tour the sites tied to the Yagoro legend and fully enjoy this local festival. Since the display is short, plan with plenty of time to spare so you don't miss it.
