About this spot

JR Asaka Station (麻狭駅), where the Sanyo Main Line and Shinkansen stop, serves as the gateway to Sanyo-Onoda City. In front of the station, local shops line the streets, allowing you to experience the bustling daily life of the region. On the day of the fireworks festival, activity increases from evening onward, but during daytime hours it remains calm, making it ideal for leisurely strolling. Gathering refreshments and light snacks here will help you avoid the rush later in the evening. As you walk while searching for festival banners and decorations, your anticipation for the summer festival will build.

Fireworks details

Name: 厚狭夏まつり花火大会

Date & time: 7/28 (Tue) 20:00–20:30

Venue: 山陽小野田市・厚狭川河畔

Shells: approx. 1,500

2026年7月28日(火)20時、厚狭夏まつり花火大会が開幕します。山陽小野田市の厚狭川河畔から打ち上がる約1,500発は、川面に光を映しながら夏の夜空を次々と彩ります。水辺ならではの開放感の中で見る花火は、音の響き方も格別で、打ち上げのたびに川面がきらめきます。コンパクトな時間(約30分)の中に見ごたえのある花火が凝縮され、地元の夏まつりの温かなにぎわいとともに楽しめるのがこの大会の魅力です。フィナーレの連発が夜空を明るく照らす瞬間は、この1日のクライマックスです。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は山陽小野田市の公式発表を事前に確認しましょう。終了直後はJR厚狭駅へ向かう人が集中するため、フィナーレ後はその場で少し余韻を楽しんでから移動すると混雑を分散できます。帰りの道は暗いため、スマホのライトや小さなライトがあると安心です。
