Special viewing of fireworks illuminating the plateau night sky with views of Hiruzen Sanzan

About this spot

Held on August 15, 2026 (Saturday), this fireworks festival marks the end of summer on Hiruzen Plateau. Fireworks burst into the crystal-clear night sky characteristic of the high altitude, creating a fantastical spectacle alongside the silhouettes of the surrounding Hiruzen Sanzan (蒜山三座). Unlike urban fireworks displays, the expansive highland setting offers a leisurely viewing experience in an atmosphere of openness. A fitting finale to summer vacation, this event adorns the plateau's night sky with spectacular colors.

Best time to visit

Scheduled for 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM. Secure your spot at least 30 minutes before the start.
