Watch approximately 2,000 fireworks lighting up the night sky above the countryside
About this spot
Fireworks for the summer festival in Chikayoshi district, Kihoku Town, held on July 26, 2026 (Sunday) from 20:10-20:40. Approximately 2,000 fireworks light up the countryside night sky, and because the area is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the light and sound become even more impressive. As a community-rooted summer festival, the time spent looking up at the night sky together with local people is truly special.
