About this spot

Held on Sunday, August 23, 2026, this fireworks display takes place at Nishinoomote Port on Tanegashima, the island where firearms were first introduced to Japan in 1543. About 6,000 fireworks light up the night sky over the port, appearing especially vivid in the clear air unique to a remote island. As the finale of a festival tied to the island's firearm heritage, these fireworks have long been cherished by the local community. After watching the finale's rapid-fire display, head home with cherished summer memories with your family.

Tips

The event may be canceled or postponed in case of severe weather, so check Nishinoomote City's official announcements on the day. The area around the port gets very crowded right after the event ends, so it's a good idea to enjoy the afterglow for a bit before moving on. Be sure to check accommodation and ferry/flight times in advance, since this is a remote island.
