Spectacular Fireworks Lighting the Autumn Night Sky—Approximately 7,000 Bursts Echoing Through the Ou Mountains

About this spot

The Kamioka Minami-Sotogawara Fireworks Festival, held on Monday, September 14, 2026, at 6:30 PM, takes place at Nakagawara Community Park in Jinguji, Daisen City, lighting up the autumn night sky with approximately 7,000 fireworks. True to its roots in Daisen City, known for the Omagari Fireworks Festival, the festival's scale is impressively full-featured for a regional event, offering diverse programs including star mines and large-caliber shells. In September's crisp air, the colors of the fireworks appear especially vivid, and the launch sounds reverberating through the surrounding mountains reach deep into your core. The warm atmosphere shared by community residents and visiting families is also a major attraction of this fireworks festival. The moment when the finale's rapid bursts illuminate the entire night sky is the climax of this full day.

Tips

Check the festival organizer's official announcement by the morning of the day to confirm whether the event will be held in case of inclement weather. After the show ends, roads and parking lots around the venue become crowded, so staggered departure—enjoying some afterglow before moving—is recommended rather than leaving immediately. Bring a jacket or warm layer as autumn evenings are cold. Use a light on the dark return route and move safely.

Best time to visit

Coordinated with the 6:30 PM start. Settle into your viewing spot 15-20 minutes before the opening.
