Kyoto Racecourse (京都競馬場)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Kyoto Racecourse (京都競馬場), the venue for the Kyoto Art Fireworks, is one of Japan's leading large-scale racecourses located in Fushimi Ward. The vast facility, normally known for horse racing, opens up this night as a special venue for fireworks viewing. Viewing spaces making use of the lawn areas and stands are spacious, creating an environment where families can watch comfortably. Before the show, food stalls and vendors bustle, so enjoy the moment as the whole venue fills with excitement. Spread out a leisure sheet to claim your spot and look forward to the 7:50 PM start.

Tips

The nearest station is Yodo Station (淀駅) on the Keihan Main Line and Kintetsu Kyoto Line, about a 5-minute walk away. We strongly recommend checking the festival's official website in advance for entry procedures on the day and whether paid seating is available. The area around the venue gets crowded before the show starts, so allow plenty of time to enter by around 7 PM.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes (including waiting for the show to start). It's reassuring to secure your spot 30 minutes before the show begins
