Watch fireworks launching into the evening sky of the basin overlooking Mount Yufu

About this spot

The climax of the 41st Yufuin Basin Fireworks Festival, held on August 15, 2026 (Saturday), with the Miyagawa Riverbank as the venue. The unique charm of this event is the powerful impact felt through your body as the sound of the fireworks reverberates off the surrounding mountains due to the terrain of being a basin surrounded by mountains including Mount Yufu. The night scene of the hot spring town overlapping with the fireworks creates a picturesque sight full of Yufuin's character. A special moment on a summer night when you can slowly savor the sound and light reverberating through the basin with your family.
