Kyushu Fireworks Festival Venue (Matsuura River) (九州花火大会会場(松浦川))

Flow of the course

About this spot

The Kyushu Fireworks Festival (九州花火大会) is held along the Matsuura River (松浦川), in the stretch from Karatsu City's Taiiku no Mori to the Matsuura River Sports Ground. Fireworks launching into the night sky above the river reflect their light on the water's surface, and their vivid colors look especially beautiful in autumn's clear air. Held in autumn, the cool night breeze makes the experience of the river's murmur overlapping with the fireworks' loud booms a different flavor from summer. Enjoy this competition of lights coloring Karatsu's night sky together as a family.

Tips

Check with Karatsu City or the festival's official announcements in advance for whether the event will proceed in case of severe weather. Right after it ends, the surrounding roads and public transit get crowded. Waiting a bit before moving after it ends makes for a smoother trip home. Check the return train and bus schedules in advance, including the last departures. The riverbank is dark underfoot, so a small light will help keep you safe.

Best time to visit

Timed to the event running from 7:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Secure your viewing spot before it starts
