Attend the Garrison's Summer Event Fireworks and Cap Off a Himeji Evening
About this spot
The fireworks displayed at the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Himeji Garrison's summer refreshment event on July 27, 2026 (Monday). Held annually for the community, the exact number of fireworks isn't publicly disclosed, but the event is cherished locally as a summer tradition that lights up the castle town's night sky. Fireworks can be viewed from Ottemae Park and surrounding streets; the moment when the castle's silhouette and fireworks overlap is a sight unique to Himeji. From 8 PM to 8:50 PM, enjoy a finale befitting Himeji's summer.
