Watch fireworks light up the night sky above the steamy hot spring town

About this spot

Held on July 26, 2026 (Sunday), the Kazuno Fireworks Festival brightens the summer of Oyu Hot Spring. Starting at 8:30 PM, fireworks are launched into the night sky around Michi-no-Eki Ooyu. The combination of the sound of fireworks echoing through the quiet mountain valley unique to a hot spring town and the steam-filled townscape creates an evocative scene. It's a fitting finale after enjoying Jomon ruins and hot springs throughout the day.
