Watch fireworks launched into the night sky surrounded by mountains

About this spot

The climax of the Ogano Fireworks Festival held on August 16, 2026 (Sunday), with the former Mitada River Middle School area as the venue. Due to the location surrounded by mountains, the sound of the launch echoes off the peaks creating a powerful sensation that resonates through your body—this is the charm of this festival. Unlike large-scale fireworks festivals in urban areas, the calm atmosphere of viewing fireworks from a relatively close distance is also a distinctive feature. It becomes a time for your family to slowly gaze up at the fireworks spreading across the night sky along with the starry sky.

Tips

In case of bad weather, there is a possibility of cancellation or postponement, so check the official announcement from Ogano Town on the day. After the event ends, surrounding roads become congested, so it's recommended to settle in for a bit before heading home. Since it will be dark underfoot, it's reassuring to prepare a flashlight or your smartphone light.

Best time to visit

Coordinated with the 7:30 PM launch time. Please settle into your spot 30 minutes before the start.
