About this spot

Held on Saturday, August 15, 2026, this fireworks display brings the Hiruzen Highlands' summer to a close. Fireworks rise into the clear night sky unique to this high-altitude plateau, creating a fantastical sight together with the silhouettes of the surrounding three Hiruzen peaks. Unlike an urban fireworks festival, part of the charm is being able to watch at ease amid the spacious openness of the highlands. It's a fitting finale to summer vacation, a moment that colors the highland night sky.

Tips

Check the event's official announcements to confirm whether it will go ahead in bad weather. Highland nights get cold even in midsummer, so don't forget something to layer on. Roads to the parking areas get congested after the show ends, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow before heading out.
