Overview
The Ashino Seiten Fireworks take place in the Ashino district of Nasu Town, Tochigi, on August 19, 2026 — the 72nd edition of a display held in step with the festival day of Sanko-ji Temple, one of Japan's three great Seiten temples. On the day, about 50 stalls line Nakamachi-dori, and the old-festival atmosphere of the street comes alive from early evening. The fireworks launch from Ashino Goten-yama between 19:00 and 20:30. The number of shells is undecided and not published in advance, which is worth knowing before you go. The venue is a five-minute walk from the Ashino-shisho-mae stop, about 15 minutes by bus (for Iwano Elementary School) from JR Kurodahara Station; by car it is about 30 minutes from the Tohoku Expressway Nasu IC via Routes 4 and 28. Parking for 600 cars is free. For the latest details, check the organizer's announcements.
