Fireworks reflected in the lake surface as viewed from the mountain-nestled lakeside
About this spot
The Bandai Fire Mountain Festival held on July 21, 2026 (Tuesday) near Hibara Lakeside's First Parking Lot, lighting up Urabandai's summer. Fireworks launched at this high-elevation mountain lake are accompanied by sound echoing off surrounding peaks, creating a different kind of magnificence compared to urban fireworks displays. The reflection of fireworks' glow on the calm lake surface is another highlight. Spend this special 50 minutes enjoying fireworks amid Urabandai's natural beauty on a cool mountain evening.
