Watch fireworks light up the rural night sky
About this spot
Held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, this fireworks festival marks the summer season's close in Karumai, a rural town in northern Iwate Prefecture. From 7 PM to 8 PM, fireworks burst into the night sky. Because the countryside has fewer tall buildings, the fireworks' light spreads across a broader view—a unique charm of this rural setting. It's a fitting finale to a day spent enjoying flowers and local cuisine, a warm and community-rooted celebration.
