Approximately 2,000 fireworks launched from the lake, with sound echoing through the mountains and inverted fireworks reflected on the water

About this spot

A fireworks festival held on Nojiri Lake in Shinano Town from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM on Saturday, July 25, 2026. The approximately 2,000 fireworks launched from the lake create a powerful impact as the sound echoes through the surrounding mountains like Kurohime Mountain and Myoko Mountain, resonating deep within. The "inverted fireworks" reflected beautifully on the quiet lake surface are a signature attraction unique to lakeside fireworks displays, and the sight of fireworks blooming in both sky and water surface is overwhelming. Fireworks bursting large across the night sky of the highlands, with little light pollution, offer a magical interplay with the stars that cannot be compared to urban fireworks festivals. An hour enjoyed with the cool night breeze is the ultimate climax of summer in Shinano Town.

Tips

Please confirm the official Shinano Town announcement on the day for whether the festival will be held in case of bad weather. After the show ends, roads and parking areas around the lakeshore become congested, so staggered departure times are recommended if traveling by car. The night lakeshore has little lighting and dark footing, so keep a small light handy. Even in midsummer, the highland night is cool, so definitely bring a jacket.

Best time to visit

From 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM according to the scheduled time. Secure your viewing spot at least 30 minutes before the start.
