Summary
On the shores of Dazahoshi Pond in Iizuna Highland north of Nagano City, the traditional Iizuna Hi (Fire) Festival holds its fireworks on August 10, 2026 — about 1,000 shells over 50 minutes from 20:00. Now in its 59th year, the event centers on fire rituals tied to Mount Iizuna, and 12,000 visitors are expected to watch from the cool pond shore.
Overview
The Iizuna Hi Matsuri is a long-running tradition in the Iizuna Highland north of Nagano City, a festival of prayer built around fire and Mount Iizuna. Its 59th edition sets off about 1,000 shells over the pond between 20:00 and 20:50 on August 10, 2026, with an expected audience of 12,000. The highland air keeps the night cool and quiet — a very different mood from big-city displays. A bus from JR Nagano Station runs about 45 minutes to the Nagano Forest Village stop, steps from the venue, while drivers come roughly 30 minutes from Shinano-machi IC on the Joshin-etsu Expressway. Parking totals about 800 spaces at 2,000 yen per car, with free shuttles planned from the No. 2 lot and the Iizuna Resort ski-area lot; with capacity limited, the organizer recommends public transport. Latest details are on the Iizuna Highland Tourism Association's site.
