The festival stalls and lively community atmosphere make this hour special. Rest from your Arashiyama walk while mentally preparing for the 10-minute fireworks finale.
Fireworks details
Name: 桂駐屯地納涼夏祭り打ち上げ花火
Date & time: 7/22 (Wed) 19:50–20:00
Venue: 京都市西京区・陸上自衛隊桂駐屯地
2026年7月22日(水)開催、陸上自衛隊桂駐屯地の夏祭りを締めくくる打ち上げ花火です。19時50分から20時までのわずか10分間に、花火が一気に打ち上がります。短い時間に凝縮されているからこそ、瞬きする間も惜しいほどの密度で夜空を彩ります。地域の夏祭りらしいアットホームな雰囲気の中で見上げる花火は、大きな会場とはまたひと味違う魅力があります。
Tips
荒天時は中止または内容変更の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は事前に確認しましょう。花火は短時間で終了するため、開始時刻を逃さないよう時間に余裕を持って待機を。終了後は周辺道路が混み合うため、時間差での帰宅がおすすめです。
Food stalls
Hours: 17:00–19:30(ラストオーダー19:15、野外売店)
※Based on previous years. Stall lineups change year to year. Please check the official site for the latest details.
Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
Walkable distance from Hankyu Katsura Station, but evening crowds are expected as the camp is surrounded by residential areas. Buying food and drinks in advance is wise. Fireworks start at 7:50 PM for only 10 minutes, so secure your spot before then.
Best time to visit
Approximately 2 hours 35 minutes. Also enjoy the sky's color changes around sunset.
