The climax of the summer festival - approximately 1,000 to 1,500 fireworks illuminate the sky above the pond

About this spot

The fireworks display that crowns the Ogase Pond Summer Festival finale begins at 7:30 PM on Saturday, July 18, 2026. Approximately 1,000 to 1,500 fireworks burst successively into the sky above the pond, reflecting vivid colors on the water's surface while painting the summer night sky. Unlike fireworks displays at large lakes or seas, the intimate distance of viewing fireworks over a compact pond combines impressive scale with accessibility, allowing you to enjoy them in the warm atmosphere of a gathering of local families. The 40-minute spectacle of bustling festival energy intertwined with rings of light expanding across the pond's surface with each burst is a fitting climax to end your day.
