About this spot

An international racing circuit located at approximately 800m elevation in Kamitsue Town, Hita City, Oita Prefecture, and the venue for tonight's fireworks festival. Normally known as the sacred ground of motorsports, this place transforms into a special viewing venue exclusively for the fireworks festival tonight. The high-altitude sky visible from within the vast circuit is incomparably wider than from flat ground, and the dusk scenery is also exceptional. After arriving at the venue, secure your viewing spot early and slowly enjoy the changes in the mountain's dusk and gradually darkening sky. Since temperatures drop rapidly once the sun sets in the autumn mountains, be sure to have warm clothing at hand.

2026年9月26日(土)開催、標高約800mのオートポリスを舞台にした花火大会です。約10,000発の花火が山上の広い夜空に次々と打ち上げられ、周囲の山々に音が反響する迫力は平地の花火大会とはまったく異なります。遮るものの少ない高原の空は大きく開けており、花火の全体像をダイナミックに楽しめます。澄んだ秋の空気の中で見上げる大輪の花火は色彩も鮮やかで、山の稜線とのコントラストが美しい景観を作り出します。フィナーレの連発が山全体を包む瞬間は、この場所でしか味わえない特別な体験です。
