Flow of the course

About this spot

The main event of the Heguri Fireworks Festival is held on the ground of the Heguri Town General Sports Center. Located in the mountains of Nara, Heguri Town is surrounded by green mountains, and the sight of fireworks blooming against the mountain ridgeline in the night sky is exceptionally beautiful. The sound of the fireworks echoes and reverberates through the mountains, creating a sense of presence and impact quite different from fireworks festivals in urban areas. In the clear night air of autumn, savor each burst of fireworks one by one as you enjoy the finale of this day's journey. The warm atmosphere unique to a community-rooted fireworks festival is also part of this event's charm.

Tips

The festival runs from 3:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (official website). The official page does not state the fireworks launch start time, so be sure to check the official announcement just before the event. In case of severe weather, it may be cancelled or postponed. After the event ends, crowds concentrate toward the nearest Kintetsu Ikoma Line station, so it's advisable to leave at a staggered time. Since it gets dark underfoot, bringing a small light is reassuring.

Best time to visit

Secure your spot early to align with the start time. Be in your viewing spot 20 to 30 minutes before the show begins.
