Summary
The Koga Fireworks Festival takes place on August 1, 2026 (7:20–8:30 p.m.) at the Koga Golf Links site near the Watarase River in Koga, Ibaraki. Two sanjyaku (three-shaku) shells are slated for launch, alongside an extra-wide star mine that makes the most of the open grounds. The pyrotechnics are handled by Nomura Fireworks, a house often called Japan's finest, and a free parking lot with 1,500 spaces makes driving in easy.
Overview
Announced for the 2026 program are two sanjyaku shells — among the largest rounds fired in Japan — and a wide star mine spread across the breadth of the golf-course grounds, in a show put together by Nomura Fireworks, regularly praised as the country's leading pyrotechnician. The venue is a 20-minute walk from JR Koga Station and just 5 minutes from the Tobu line's Shin-Koga Station; drivers reach it in about 20 minutes from the Tatebayashi IC on the Tohoku Expressway via Route 354, using the free 1,500-space lot. Paid seating is available and food stalls line the site. Shell counts and program details are best confirmed with the organizer or on the official website.
