Ashiya Fireworks Festival
A long-running fireworks festival in the Kitakyushu area, this event dates back to the Taisho era and has a history spanning more than a century. Around 5,000 fireworks are launched from barges on the Onga River, lighting up the summer night sky and reflecting brilliantly across the water.
Highlights include powerful large-shell fireworks and the festival’s signature “Niagara Falls” display, a dazzling curtain of light stretching approximately 250 meters across the river and connecting its two banks. Drawing large crowds each year, the event remains a beloved summer tradition and a seasonal landmark in the region.
