Chikanaga Summer Festival Fireworks (近永夏祭り花火大会, Chikanaga, Kihoku)

Flow of the course

About this spot

These are the fireworks of the summer festival in the Chikanaga area (近永地区) of Kihoku Town, held from 8:10 to 8:40 PM on Sunday, July 26, 2026. About 2,000 fireworks color the satoyama night sky, and it's precisely because of the quiet setting surrounded by mountains on all sides that the light and sound resonate all the more powerfully. As a summer festival rooted in the local community, spending this time looking up at the night sky together with local residents is something special.

Tips

In case of bad weather, the event may be canceled or postponed, so check Kihoku Town's official announcement on the day. Parking areas get crowded after the event ends, so it's recommended to stagger your departure time. There are few streetlights on the way home, so it's a good idea to bring a light.

Best time to visit

Time your visit to the event hours of 8:10-8:40 PM. Secure your viewing spot 30 minutes before the start.
