Secure Your Spot at the Mountain-Surrounded Venue and Enjoy the Sunset to Dusk

About this spot

It's time to head early to the area around Shiiba Junior High School, tonight's fireworks venue, and secure your viewing spot. Shiiba Village is located in a basin-shaped geography surrounded on all sides by mountains of the Kyushu Mountain Range. As evening approaches, the mountain ridge lines are painted by the sunset, revealing a breathtaking view. Feel the passage of time as the mountains gradually turn to silhouettes while awaiting the fireworks start. If you spread out snacks and drinks you've gathered from the roadside station here, you can enjoy a leisurely time before the show begins. Part of the fun of this course is imagining how the surrounding mountains will echo the fireworks sounds as you wait.

Fireworks details

Name: しいば花火大会

Date & time: 8/11 (Tue) Time TBA

Venue: 椎葉村・椎葉中学校

Shells: approx. 700

日本三大秘境のひとつに数えられる椎葉村の夜空に、約700発の花火が打ち上がります。四方を山に囲まれた地形が炸裂音を反響させ、体に響く独特の迫力は平野部の花火大会では感じられないものです。村の灯りが少なく空が暗いため、花火の色が夜空に際立って鮮やかに映えます。花火ひとつひとつが山々のシルエットを背景に大きく開く光景は、椎葉の大自然そのものに包まれるような体験です。平家落人伝説が眠るこの秘境の地で、夏の夜空を彩る花火は、ふだんとは違う旅の記憶として心に残ることでしょう。

Tips

開催時間は未確定のため、大会公式情報を必ず事前に確認してください。荒天時の対応(中止・延期)も公式発表で確認を。終了後は帰路の道路が限られるため、車での移動は時間に余裕を持って。椎葉村から最寄りの大きな町(延岡・熊本方面)まで山道を長時間走ることになるため、夜間運転の準備と燃料の確認も事前に済ませておきましょう。

Tips

Please confirm parking areas and accessible areas around the venue in advance via official festival information. Be sure to locate restrooms while there is still daylight. Bring a light jacket as temperatures drop after sunset in mountain valleys. Since cell phone reception is weak in some areas, download maps for offline access in advance.
