View approximately 5,000 fireworks across the Onga River surface

About this spot

The Ashiya Fireworks Festival, held from 8 PM to 9 PM on July 25, 2026 (Saturday), launches fireworks upstream of Ashiya Bridge throughout the Onga River estuary area. Approximately 5,000 fireworks burst open in the summer night sky, and along with the mirrored fireworks reflected on the Onga River surface, the fireworks world spreads across both the sky and water surface. Taking advantage of the wide river width near the estuary, large-caliber fireworks and the finale's rapid-fire bursts are impressive, and the charm of this festival is that you can enjoy them head-on without obstruction from the riverside. Spend one summer night hour with fireworks on the pleasant evening breeze along the Onga River.

Tips

Please check the official announcement from Ashiya Town on the day to confirm whether the festival will be held in case of severe weather. After the festival ends, roads and parking areas around the venue become very congested, so it's wise to either wait a while after the fireworks finish before moving or confirm your walking route home in advance. The riverside path home will be dark, so make use of a flashlight or your smartphone's light.

Best time to visit

During the 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM show time. It's good to arrive at the viewing location by 30 minutes before the start for a good spot
