Enjoy street food and festival atmosphere while waiting for the fireworks to begin

About this spot

The venue for the Otsuka-yama Summer Festival at Kishimadaira Junior High School. As evening falls, food stalls and vendors set up around the schoolyard, and you'll find yourself immersed in the charming, homemade atmosphere of the village summer festival. To cap off your day exploring flower gardens and temples, enjoy street food while taking in the festive mood. As night approaches and more visitors arrive, it's recommended to secure a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy the festivities.

Fireworks details

Name: 大塚山夏祭り

Date & time: 8/1 (Sat) 20:00–21:00

Venue: 下高井郡木島平村・木島平中学校

2026年8月1日(土)20時開催、木島平村の夏を締めくくる花火大会です。周囲を山々に囲まれた中学校の校庭から、夜空へ花火が1時間にわたって打ち上がります。高い建物の少ない山村の立地のため、花火が澄んだ夜空いっぱいに広がる様子を存分に楽しめるのが魅力。村みんなで見上げる、木島平の夏の締めくくりにふさわしいひとときです。

Tips

荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は木島平村の公式発表で確認を。終了後は周辺道路が混み合うため、フィナーレ後は少し余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめです。周辺は街灯が少ないため、スマホのライトなど足元を照らせるものがあると安心です。

Tips

A few minutes by car from the Kishimadaira Village Office area. The parking lot will be crowded on festival day, so allow extra time for travel. Food stalls operate mainly on cash, so bring small change.
