Watch the Fireworks Illuminating Katsurayama Park's Night Sky - the Climax of Wasshoi Million Summer Festival

About this spot

The Wasshoi Million Summer Festival is beloved as Kitakyushu's largest summer festival, with fireworks marking its grand finale. Colorful fireworks light up the sky above Katsurayama Park one after another, and the impressive power of fireworks descending as if from directly overhead is unique to this urban-style fireworks display. With Kokura Castle's silhouette as a backdrop, the fireworks reveal a different face than the castle you saw during the day. The light and sound of the fireworks viewed under the festival's peak excitement is a fitting finale that dispels the day's accumulated fatigue from all your walking.

Tips

Be sure to confirm the start time and details from the official announcement (the times in this course are estimates). In case of bad weather, the event may be cancelled or postponed. After the show, the JR Kokura Station and Monorail Kokura Station areas will be extremely crowded, so it's recommended to rest in the park for a while before leaving. Check your return transportation method and the last train time in advance.

Best time to visit

Coordinate with the fireworks start time. Wait comfortably at your viewing location before it begins.
