Mobility Resort Motegi Fireworks Festival

Summary

Mobility Resort Motegi, the racing complex in Motegi, Tochigi Prefecture, stages its 'Fireworks Festival' on Friday, August 14, 2026 — a theatrical show in which fireworks rise in time with music, both at eye level and high above the oval course. Viewing options run from unreserved seating on the oval course, where bursts feel close enough to rain down, to grandstand seats with panoramic views, group seats, terrace premium seats and air-conditioned VIP suites. The fireworks come from Kikuya Obata Hanabi-ten, a Gunma shop celebrating its 150th anniversary; the 2025 edition drew 18,000 visitors.

Overview

The Fireworks Festival at Mobility Resort Motegi pairs music and pyrotechnics in a theatrical format: shells rise both at eye level and overhead, choreographed to the soundtrack. The fireworks are made by Kikuya Obata Hanabi-ten of Gunma, a pyrotechnic house celebrating its 150th anniversary, whose craftsmen build each shell by hand. The 2025 edition drew 18,000 visitors, and the 2026 show is set for Friday, August 14. Seating is a large part of the appeal. Unreserved seats on the oval course put you close enough that the fireworks seem to rain down; the grandstand frames a panoramic view; and reserved options include group seats, terrace premium seats with a glamping feel, and air-conditioned VIP suites. Parking is extensive but advance-ticket only — ¥2,500 for cars, ¥600 for motorcycles, reserved lots from ¥4,000 — so buy along with your admission. The venue is about 90 minutes by bus from JR Mito Station, or 40 minutes by car from the Mito IC on the Joban Expressway.
