Watch the fireworks from the basin surrounded by mountains
About this spot
The Shobara Summer Festival Fireworks Grand Display, held on August 23rd, 2026 (Sunday), illuminates the nature-rich city of Shobara in northern Hiroshima Prefecture. Fireworks launched into the night sky above the basin surrounded by mountains echo off the peaks, sounding particularly loud and grand. Viewed within the clear air characteristic of the highlands, the fireworks display has a power and beauty distinctly different from urban fireworks shows. A memorable moment for families that marks the end of summer in Shobara, surrounded by abundant nature.
