Approximately 1,500 fireworks—a traditional event tied to Akiba Shrine

About this spot

Held on Thursday, July 23, 2026, this fireworks festival is loved as a traditional event with ties to the local Akiba Shrine. From 8:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., approximately 1,500 fireworks burst into the night sky in succession. These fireworks, rooted long in the community, carry gratitude toward Akiba-san, revered as the deity of fire prevention. Overlapping with memories of tatara iron-smelting and Yasuki Busho encountered during the day, it becomes a special evening concluding Yasuki's traditional culture.
