Watch approximately 2,000 fireworks illuminate the rural night sky
About this spot
The fireworks display held on July 25, 2026 (Saturday) marking the end of summer in Shimonoseki city's Kikugawa town. Approximately 2,000 fireworks light up the Shimooka district sky from 8 PM to 8:30 PM for 30 minutes. Without tall buildings in the rural area, the fireworks light spreads even wider, adding to their appeal. Enjoying fireworks in this community-rooted, homey atmosphere offers a different charm compared to urban displays.
