Flow of the course

About this spot

Held on Monday, July 27, 2026, these are the fireworks of the Shinjicho Gion Festival, affectionately known as the Renge Festival. About 2,200 fireworks shells launch from the shore of Lake Shinji, and their light reflects on the calm water's surface, creating a beautiful sight like ‘upside-down fireworks.’ This festival has long continued as a summer tradition of the community, and it's filled with a warm atmosphere as local residents and visitors alike look up at the night sky together. Be sure to enjoy the contrast between the lake's quiet surface and the fireworks.

Tips

The event may be canceled or postponed in case of severe weather, so check the organizer's announcement on the day to confirm whether it will go ahead. Afterward, the nearest station and roads get crowded, so leaving in a staggered manner makes for a smoother trip home. The lakeshore is dark underfoot, so a small light is reassuring.

Best time to visit

Timed to the 20:30-21:00 event hours. A spot where you can see the lake's surface also lets you enjoy the reflected fireworks
