About this spot

The Kyoto Arts Fireworks, opening at 7:50 PM on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026, unfolds at Kyoto Racecourse in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City. With approximately 13,500 fireworks launched, the display is perfectly synchronized with music as fireworks burst across the night sky one after another. True to its name as an arts fireworks show, the combination of color, form, and music transcends a mere fireworks display into an experience that leaves both adults and children breathless during the 60-minute spectacle. The moment when the finale's rapid succession of bursts fills the vast sky above the racecourse is the climax where every moment of this full day becomes worthwhile. It will become a special memory etched in Fushimi's night sky.
