Watch approximately 1,200 fireworks bloom across the clear night sky above the mountain valley
About this spot
Held at 8:30 PM on Saturday, August 1, 2026, this fireworks display marks the end of summer in Mimasaka City's Sakutou district. Approximately 1,200 fireworks burst into the night sky one after another from the junior high school grounds surrounded by mountains. The mountain valley location with few tall buildings allows fireworks to spread gloriously across the clear night sky—a unique charm. A moment worthy of marking summer's end in Sakutou, with the entire community looking up together.
