2026年8月1日(土)開催、箱根神社の1269回目の例大祭を奉祝する、格式ある花火大会です。芦ノ湖の湖上から約2,300発の花火が打ち上がり、周囲の山々に音が反響しながら、湖面に映る光の帯が幻想的な光景を作り出します。短時間ながら密度の高い花火は、箱根の夏を締めくくるにふさわしい迫力です。
Tips
荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日は箱根町の公式発表で開催可否を確認を。終了後は元箱根周辺の道が大変混雑するため、時間差での帰宅がおすすめです。山あいの夜は冷え込みやすいため羽織ものを忘れずに。
Tips
Approximately 15 minutes on foot from Hakone Checkpoint. The area will be very crowded on fireworks day, so it's recommended to gather dinner and secure a viewing spot early.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. The lakeside sunset is a highlight.
