Watch Approximately 3,000 Fireworks Under a Star-Filled Sky with Sound Echoing Through the Mountains

About this spot

The Taira-no-Koremori Grand Festival Fireworks, held July 25, 2026 (Saturday) from 8:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., are donated to the grand festival. Approximately 3,000 fireworks burst successively across the night sky of Nosegawa Village, deep in the mountains with minimal light pollution. The terrain, surrounded by mountains on all sides, creates a reverberation effect for the fireworks' boom, producing bass tones that resonate directly through your body in a way no city fireworks show can match. The simultaneous view of a star-filled sky and fireworks is a luxury only possible at a high-elevation mountain village venue. Sharing this 30-minute festival—a summer celebration passed down with local people in a quiet mountain village where the legend of the Heike refugees lives on—will become a climactic memory of your family's summer vacation.

Tips

Check the village's official information on the day of the event regarding any cancellations due to inclement weather. After the event ends, you'll be driving down mountain roads, so the driver should refrain from alcohol and take sufficient rest before departing. Nocturnal animals such as deer may appear on mountain roads at night, so drive carefully at reduced speeds. The main highway merge point may be congested on the return trip, so allow extra time.

Best time to visit

Coordinated with the 8:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. event hours. Arriving at your viewing spot 30 minutes before the start allows you to settle in and enjoy the first burst comfortably.
