About this spot

About 5 minutes by car from Greenland, the "Manda Mine (万田坑)" in Arao City was registered in 2015 as a component asset of the UNESCO World Heritage site "Meiji Japan's Industrial Revolution Heritage (明治日本の産業革命遺産)." The brick-built winding machine house built during the Meiji era and Japan's largest-scale vertical shaft tower are preserved in their original state, allowing you to feel the powerful presence of industrial heritage firsthand. Guided tours are available through the facility, offering a valuable opportunity to learn with children about how the coal industry supported Japan's modernization. Even on the fireworks festival day, you can enjoy a leisurely visit before evening, creating a distinctly different experience from amusement park attractions.

Fireworks details

Name: さのよいファイヤーカーニバル

Date & time: 7/19 (Sun) 20:00–20:30

Venue: 荒尾市・グリーンランド(遊園地)

Shells: approx. 10,000

2026年7月19日(日)20時00分から、荒尾市のグリーンランドを舞台に「さのよいファイヤーカーニバル」が開幕します。約10,000発の花火が遊園地の夜空に次々と開き、スターマインや大型玉が織りなす30分間のショーは圧巻の迫力です。1日遊んだ遊園地の乗り物や観覧車が花火に照らされる光景は、普通の花火大会とは一味違う特別な絵になります。子どもたちが昼間に乗り込んだアトラクションのシルエットが夜空の花火を背景に浮かび上がる瞬間は、家族全員の夏の記憶に深く刻まれるひとこまになるはずです。30分間という凝縮されたプログラムの中に、夏の夜のクライマックスが詰まっています。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は主催者の公式発表を事前に確認してください。終了後は駐車場や周辺道路が大変混み合うため、花火終了後は園内でしばらく余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめです。帰りの渋滞を見越して、宿泊先や帰路の計画を事前に立てておくと安心です。
