Flow of the course

About this spot

A fireworks festival held on Sunday, August 2, 2026, set on Lake Sai (西湖), one of the Fuji Five Lakes. Fireworks launch one after another into the night sky from the lake, beautifully reflected as inverted fireworks on the still water surrounded by mountains. Packed into the 20 minutes from 7:30 PM to 7:50 PM, the fireworks are launched at a brisk pace that makes for a spectacular show, with a striking contrast between sound and light amid the surrounding quiet. Compared with other fireworks festivals around the Fuji Five Lakes, crowds here tend to be smaller, which is a welcome point for families who want to enjoy it at a relaxed pace.

Fireworks details

Tips

The event may be cancelled or postponed in case of severe weather, so check the organizer's announcements on the day. Since the show is short, it is best to arrive at a good viewing spot 10 to 15 minutes before it starts. The way back is dark after the show ends, so bringing a flashlight is a good idea for safety.

Best time to visit

Timed to the 19:30-19:50 show. A spot with a view of the lake surface lets you enjoy the upside-down fireworks too
