About this spot
Held at 20:00 on Saturday, August 1, 2026, this is the fireworks display that closes out summer in Kijimadaira Village. From the schoolyard of the junior high school, surrounded by mountains, fireworks are launched into the night sky for a full hour. Thanks to the mountain village setting with few tall buildings, the appeal is being able to fully enjoy the fireworks spreading across the clear night sky. It's a fitting moment to close out summer in Kijimadaira, watched by the whole village together.

The event may be canceled or postponed in severe weather, so check Kijimadaira Village's official announcement on the day for the latest status. Roads nearby get crowded afterward, so it's a good idea to enjoy the afterglow for a bit before heading out once the finale ends. The area has few streetlights, so something to light your way, like a smartphone flashlight, is useful.
