Approximately 10,000 fireworks light the night sky above Kinko Bay—a spectacular Kagoshima fireworks display with Sakurajima as backdrop

About this spot

The climax of the Aira City Fireworks Festival (あいら市花火大会), held at Kajiki Port from 8 PM to 9 PM on Sunday, October 11, 2026, with approximately 10,000 fireworks launched. Successive blooms open above the calm waters of Kinko Bay, and vivid colors spread across the clear autumn night sky. The distant silhouette of Sakurajima floating in the view creates a uniquely Kagoshima fireworks landscape found nowhere else. The sound of waves and the roar of fireworks merge together, and this one hour of viewing in the unique immediacy of a harbor setting becomes an irreplaceable climax to your day. The pleasant autumn night breeze adds to the experience, allowing you to enjoy fireworks in a way distinctly different from summer viewing.

Tips

Check the official announcement by the festival organizers for confirmation of the event in case of bad weather. After the finale, the area around the venue and JR Kajiki Station will be very congested. Rather than leaving immediately after the finale, it is recommended to enjoy the lingering impressions for a while before departing, staggering your departure time with other visitors. Research the schedules of your return transportation in advance. Bring a small light, as some areas become dark, which will be reassuring.

Best time to visit

Aligned with the 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM event time. Arrive at your viewing location 20 to 30 minutes before the start to wait comfortably.
